DDM is Oxygen
Category Administration
All the kids in the cool crowd are running ND8, or working towards the upgrade. At my company, we are finally getting a start on the ND7 upgrade. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome (most Notes installs are R5 with a non-standard configuration, the servers are ND6.5), but I think the tide has turned. The clients are appreciating the look and feel of having a current release.
Personally, it feels like I've arrived in familiar territory, where I can start to renew all my ND7 skills. It's just so nice to have DDM running again. I hadn't realized how much it was missed, until I started to configure it up.
It's not that I only do administration, I've held advanced dual-certificates in development and administration since R4x, and for programming, I have some reporting agents that I'm anxious to migrate into web services. And just to be a part of the ND8 flow, I'm looking forward to the DDM LDAP monitoring enhancements. In the mean time, I'm using the Activity analysis--which is giving me enough (without having to enable LDAP debugging), and that's good enough.
Having DDM is like having an extra admin on staff, who talks the way I do. Feels like home.
