Mental breadcrumb for myself here as I totally forgot this command when asked a few days ago.  Want to list administration server settings for all databases on a server?

Tell adminp show databases

Will list and output the data in the console and log.nsf.  As from the infocentre:

Displays (and records in the server’s log file) this information:

• The databases that a particular administration server updates

• The locations in the database where it updates Reader and Author fields in the databases it updates

• The databases that don’t have an administration server assigned to them

Do as I say, not as I do.

Just to keep the people that were interested informed, there was not enough interest in the Ethical Hacking for Domino day at UKLUG, so I couldn’t proceed and book a venue etc.

Brand new Macbook Pro.  Fresh install of Mountain Lion.  I know it has been discussed, documented and blogged already, but now there is a (senior) person looking at me  with a WTF face.  Luckily he loves the product and will use vmware for 30-60 days until support is issued.

Realistically I should have thought of this earlier.  UKLUG is approaching fast and the full on geekery will be 3-4 September in Cardiff (for details go to the UKLUG website).  It promises to be a fantastic two days and the team are putting together the finishing touches to the logistics.

Before UKLUG I have MWLUG and plan to present the Ethical Hacking day in New York and Pittsburgh.  For details on those, click here.

But… and this is just a but, would any delegates at UKLUG be interested in staying another day and attending the workshop?  So Wednesday 5th September.  It’s not a free day.  I would want approx 5 people to book and confirm to make it viable.  So if you are interested, drop me a note or comment on the blog.

Don’t copy content blatantly and post a pissy link to the original source from hundreds of IT blogs, then cite bullshit reasons for doing it, then embed boatloads of advertising in the content you stole and expect people not to complain.  This is a small community Ms Smith.  Many of the community bump into each other professionally very frequently.   Do you think this little episode has done your reputation harm, or good.

First announcement of the week.

Bluewave have decided to run a workshop in London on may 24th. This workshop will be an introduction to hacking with a domino slant. We have had to spend a lot of time in this field over the past months out of client requirements. And it’s pretty damn interesting.

The day is aimed at admins (devs please note this particular workshop won’t be talking script exploits at a deep level) who are new to this area and have domino http servers. It will be a combination of presentation and demo (similar to the traveler workshops) and we hope to run it in the USA too if there is enough interest.

Feel free to comment with questions.

The Domino server team (Hat tip to John Paganetti and Steve Watts) have sent me a link to their recommended best practices covering Transactional Logging and DAOS.  It covers many things, but most importantly (to me) what system databaess should have these features enabled or disabled.  There is a lot of confusion about best practices in this area (I was confused myself) so this clears it up nicely.

This seminar is intended to provide you with an understanding of the new collaboration capabilities available in the cloud, what is available in the latest Notes & Domino 8.5 version and how the upgrade will work in your environment.
