Set up awareness and chat for Inline Team Workplaces

 

 

Overview

These instructions assume that the awareness feature has been independently tested on the Lotus Instant Messaging (Sametime) server and is functioning properly, and that multi-server single sign-on is set up between the Lotus Instant Messaging and Lotus Team Workplace servers.

Perform the following actions to enable online awareness and chat for users of the Inline Team Workplaces portlet:

  • Manually copy Java files from the Sametime Java toolkit and from the Lotus Team Workplace server to a subdirectory of the Domino data directory on the Lotus Instant Messaging server.

  • Specify the name of the Lotus Instant Messaging server in the Team Workplace Server Settings room.

 

 

Copying the Java files required for chat and online awareness

  1. On the Lotus Instant Messaging server, install the Sametime 6.5.1 Java Toolkit. You can download the toolkit from the Lotus section of the IBM developerWorks web site

  2. In the Domino data directory of the Lotus Instant Messaging server, create the following subdirectory: 
    yourServerDataDirectory\Domino\html\QuickPlace\peopleonline

    For example, on a Windows computer, if the path to the Domino data directory is C:\Lotus\Domino\Data, the path to the peopleonline subdirectory will be: 

    c:\lotus\domino\data\domino\html\QuickPlace\peopleonline

  3. Copy the files STComm.jar, CommRes.jar, and PeopleOnline31.jar to the QuickPlace\peopleonline subdirectory you created in the previous step. These files can be found in the locations cited below...

     

     

    STComm.jar
    Lotus Web Conferencing server

    Located in...

    yourServerDataDirectory\domino\html\sametime\toolkits\st651javatk\bin

    For example:

    c:\lotus\domino\data\domino\html\sametime\toolkits\st651javatk\bin\STComm.jar

     

     

    CommRes.jar
    Lotus Web Conferencing server

    Located in...

    yourServerDataDirectory\domino\html\sametime\toolkits\st651javatk\bin

    For example:

    c:\Lotus\Domino\Data\domino\html\sametime\toolkits\st651javatk\bin\CommRes.jar

     

     

    PeopleObline31.jar

    Located in...

    yourServerDataDirectory\QuickPlace

    For example:

    c:\lotus\domino\data\QuickPlace\PeopleOnline31.jar
