Best IBM Lotus Sources for Domino 8.5 Documentation
Category
Not everyone has bookmarked these links, which are especially important when you are doing an upgrade or new installation.
That's the list I check before any upgrades or new installations, hope it's as useful for your work !
Not everyone has bookmarked these links, which are especially important when you are doing an upgrade or new installation.
- The core site is the InfoCenter for Domino 8.x, which has centralized all the on-line documentation for administrators and developers.
- The traditional Lotus Developerworks Documentation site is important, but it's not always current with the latest and greatest.
- IBM supplies a Software Support Toolbar which is useful in ferreting out current support documentation.
- One of my favorites is the undocumented, super Google search of IBM support documentation. Basically, it's a Google site search of ibm.com/support/docview.wss with whatever Google keyword syntax you'd like to employ. Using a Google search will allow much more complex searches.
- Frequently forgotten, is the IBM Publications Center. This is your one-stop shopping for Domino (and all IBM) documentation. It is a comprehensive index of Redbooks, Redpapers and assorted documentation or manuals. It's how I found the Domino 8.5 Installation Guide.
- Sadly, IBM has transitioned away from Redbooks, and now gives a tremendous amount of technical information through the use of wikis. I think the wikis show promise, but I really miss the organization of a comprehensive Redbook.
- Finally, Fix Central is where you can pick up hot-fixes and patches that are specific to your platform. It's surprising, but ND8.5 already has one hot-fix for Domino.
That's the list I check before any upgrades or new installations, hope it's as useful for your work !
