Reduce redundancy (Re)organize presentation Enrich content, etc. Ease of implementation important (e.g. ETL is costly) What Domino databases easily “join” to present data never seen together before? What portions of Domino data are the most valuable to participate in relational applications (not covered this session) Which applications would benefit most from having Messaging/discussion/workflow data in relational form? Application Planning (continued) More Questions: What new applications are implied by the Domino/relational melding? Messaging reports, document access from outside Domino What transformation/design modification would best enable hybrid applications? Join keys, name field standardization, data uniformity HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR DATA? From Domino - Items, Forms, Views From Relational – databases, tables, columns, applications Configuration Planning Server Configuration Will DB2 run on the same (local) or different (remote) server? Advantages of DB2 on a dedicated server 64-bit memory support Disk configuration Separate tuning and administration Possible consolidation of multiple Domino servers onto a single DB2 server Will non-Domino relational data be part of the application? If yes, where will it reside and how will it be accessed? Remote access (that is, to another RDBMS) needs planning and configuration Materialized Query Tables (MQTs) – temporary local copies of relational data kept up to date automatically Configuration Planning Application Data planning How much processing will be done on the DB2/Domino Server? Full blown databases – allow for complete processing on the Domino/DB2 server Skeleton replicas (one way – in) Keep only the fields necessary to render Query View(s) Since remote documents can be opened, this is all you may need Savings are at least 95% in disk Enables consolidation of many database for highly federated QVs Interface is laborious (working on it) Configuration Planning (continued) How much processing will be done on the DB2/Domino Server (continued)? Query View – only databases Good for developing Query Views apart from production data Allow for independent (from data) access control Domain issues Repetitive work – exporting DAVs and QVs across the enterprise Creating the Design Objects DB2 Access Views What they are: Mechanism to expose Domino data to the outside, relational world Updatable DB2 Views (functionally equivalent in SQL to tables), with one row per document where rows contain Copies of selected Domino document fields, available in relational form Security information (e.g. $Readers) Domino system/navigational data (#noteid, #unid, #modified) Creating the Design Objects (continued) DB2 Access Views (continued) How they work User Defined Function (UDF) executes for every SQL statement Checks Domino privileges at database and document level Passes through SQL to DB2 Populated in DAVPOP – batch process making copies Maintained under normal NSF core updating API calls Overhead Disk footprint – even with indexes, 3% is the most measured Update costs – 8-12% extra time (wallclock) Creating the Design Objects (continued) DB2 Access Views (continued) Form-based vs. All forms – updating consideration Small cost to make form a DB2 column to add to WHERE clause Fewer DAVs = less updating/fewer objects If only one form is of interest, save space and map its documents only Including extra fields Always included #noteid, $Readers Unless you have a reason not to, include these GMT Conversion – makes date math very straightforward Creating the Design Objects (continued) DB2 Access Views (continued) Choosing columns – be thorough but judicious Know your data or you will learn about it as you go Plan for federation in advance (JOINs, UNIONs, etc.) Error avoidance/data mapping Truncation Lists and ranges vs. single occurrences Strong data typing – clean up multi-typed Domino fields Creating the Design Objects (continued) DB2 Access Views (continued) DAVPOP Debugging problems – need mechanism to get documents by NoteID Check lengths, types and occurrences Ongoing criteria enforcement – if you had problems populating, problematic data may get replicated in again Creating the Design Objects (continued) Query Views What they are Mechanism for rendering relational data using Domino views Temporary SQL query results No persistent footprint in Domino Solution for Domino view explosion Document-backed Aggregate, report data Combination How they work Map SQL query column values to Domino view columns Every time the QV is opened, it rebuilds, firing the SQL query The SQL query can be different each time Creating the Design Objects (continued) Query Views (continued) Choosing view columns – As usual in view design, but consider multiple sources and shapes of data E.g. a federated “subject” or “author” column Less is better (use SQL to your advantage) Categories and responses supported, multi-value permutation works via Lotusscript Explode Selection criteria (WHERE clause) Can be specified at runtime More restrictions are better than fewer Common restrictions (e.g. form = ‘Memo’) can be supplied via additional DB2 views ORDER BY Overridden by any Domino View column collation Useful in UNION (ALL) selects Creating the Design Objects (continued) Query Views (continued) Implicit columns (mentioned under DAVs, part of why you want them:) #noteid – for opening federated documents #oid – to support @ functions like @Created #unid – to support app calls using UniversalID Non-Domino data will not have these, but via JOINs these can be supplied e.g. – to open a Domino-resident description document from a view with relational-based manufacturing parts: SELECT a.cost, a.partno, a.partdesc, a.supplier, B.#noteid FROM corporate.parts a LEFT OUTER JOIN dom.description b ON a.partno = b.partno Creating the Design Objects (continued) Query Views (continued) SQL selection SQL columns are mapped to view columns based upon column value (type formula) = SQL column name The SQL “AS” clause projects any name to be mapped across any SQL table (e.g. SELECT rtrim(doctype) AS type FROM table) Column Construction can get ornate: SELECT lastname || ‘, ‘ || firstname || ‘ phone: ‘ || phone AS contact Query View Complexity and Design Simple Query Views Self contained, where document data in this database (i.e. using its DAV(s) only) can be: Filtered Reformatted Re-categorized Most common uses: Replace/augment existing views Replaced views create savings by eliminating update/updall processing New reports Query View Complexity and Design (continued) Complex Query Views Query references data in this database (using its DAV(s)) and at least one other source (either another DAV or relational table) Use JOIN or UNION Simplest – adding column(s) to the SELECT list: SELECT a.#noteid, a.from AS FROM,

  • Introduction
    Introduction Thank you. This is Patricia Murphy, Vice President of Investor Relations for IBM. I’m here with Mark Loughridge, IBM’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Thank you for joining our third quarter earnings presentation. The prepared remarks will be available in roughly an hour, and a replay of this webcast will be posted to our Investor Relations website by this time tomorrow. Our presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, in an effort to provide additional information to investors. All non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to their related GAAP measures in accordance with SEC rules. You will find reconciliation charts at the end, and in the Form 8-K submitted to the SEC. Let me remind you that certain comments made in this presentation may be characterized as forward looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements involve a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Additional information concerning these factors is contained in the company’s filings with the SEC. Copies are available from the SEC, from the IBM web site, or from us in Investor Relations. Now, I’ll turn the call over to Mark Loughridge. Page 1 3Q 2009 Highlights Thank you for joining us today. We just finished another great quarter, driven by strong profit performance in software and services, and share gains in both hardware and software. This quarter our revenue was up sequentially, and our growth rate improved vs. second quarter. We expanded gross margin by almost 2 points and pre-tax margin by over 3 points year to year.

  • Lotus Roadmap: Enhancing Business Collaboration with Lotus Software
    Lotus Roadmap: Enhancing Business Collaboration with Lotus Software By Michael Sampson, Principal The Michael Sampson Company January 2010 Executive Summary IBM is a major player in the collaboration software market. It offers numerous collaboration software products through its Lotus Software division, has a long track record of delivering collaboration software to the market, and is one of the two titans—Microsoft being the other—in the enterprise market for collaboration software. This report looks at the go-forward strategic role of Lotus Notes and other Lotus software by end-user organizations. The report investigates (and debunks) five common myths about Lotus Notes: 1. Because Lotus Notes is 20 years old, it should be replaced with something more modern. The evidence suggests a different interpretation. 2. IBM is not committed to Lotus Notes. By looking at IBM’s historical commitment to Lotus Notes, a different conclusion is reached. 3. IBM lacks a roadmap for Lotus Notes. By considering the role of a technical roadmap from a vendor, IBM actually does have a roadmap for Lotus Notes. 4. SharePoint will “solve all your problems”. Governance and the business approach is much more critical than the mere technology used, so switching technology without revisiting the non-technology elements will actually only exacerbate any problems. 5. Notes sucks, and it’s all IBM’s fault. IBM bears some fault, but a much greater degree of fault is frequently outside of IBM’s direct control. The report outlines the difference between a technical roadmap from IBM for Lotus products, and a business roadmap created by the organization to leverage the technology that’s available to deliver enhanced business outcomes.

  • IBM® Lotus® Sametime® Reference Architecture in a Vmware® Infrastructure 3 Environment Reference Architecture
    REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE IBM® Lotus® Sametime® Reference Architecture in a VMware® Infrastructure 3 Environment Reference Architecture IBM® Lotus® Sametime® Reference Architecture in a VMware® Infrastructure 3 Environment VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 Real-time collaboration has become a vital component of on-demand business, and IBM Lotus Sametime has quickly become an important component in many IBM Lotus Notes® and IBM Lotus Domino® environments. Typical Lotus Sametime deployments that support several thousand users require multiple servers in the physical environment, which results in high capital and operating costs. Virtualization offers unprecedented opportunities in commodity server consolidation, workload management, and return on investment. VMware Infrastructure 3 does the following: Consolidates the server sprawl in Sametime physical environments into fewer servers. Provides a dynamically adapting, highly available solution to deploy IBM Lotus Sametime that is not possible in physical environments. Together, IBM and VMware deployed and proved that the complex configuration of IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 can scale on VMware ESX Server 3.0.2, using one powerful machine. This white paper validates this solution and provides the reference architecture to deploy it in production. The test results clearly demonstrate that a Lotus Sametime deployment running in a VMware Infrastructure 3 environment can successfully support 100,000 Lotus Sametime chat users while maintaining the service level agreement (SLA) requirement for end-user response time. The following topics are discussed in this paper: “Introduction” on page 2 “Objectives and Methodology” on page 3 “Test Configuration” on page 4 “Test Results” on page 6 “More Observations” on page 10 “Conclusion” on page 10 “References” on page 10 Introduction IBM and VMware continue to collaborate on leveraging VMware Infrastructure 3 to offer a solid, robust virtualization platform to deploy IBM’s software products on.
