Slight issue with VOP - I found the FP8 installer failed with VOP1.0.0.0 installed but worked with VOP1.0.0.1 although it did blow away the OSGi JAR files. Still, after copying the VOP 1.0.0.1 OSGi JAR files back in it worked fine. This was with Win64. I also noted that the VOP views are not included in the new mail template but that is no big deal

Lots to like here.

"XPages was not mentioned in the Domino development strategy session"...yep, but Martin Donnelly and Brian Gleeson did that in the session "1671 - A Deep Dive into the Feature Pack Pipeline for Domino App Dev".

You can get their presentation from here:

@Erik, thanks for the feedback and thanks for the link!

Yes you are right! And it would have made sense to have at least one slide in the app dev strategy session to mention XPages and to point to that session!

That's why I explicitly mentioned the improvements for XPages in FP8.

@Vincent It's interesting to see that Java version for Client. I heard some work had been done in preparation for FP9, although it looks like the only jvm available to compile against in DDE is 1.6, as expected. But it's possible to compile against and use Java 1.8 in plugins on the server.

@Erik Thanks for the link, the scheduling for that session at IBM Connect was unfortunate.

With regard to the NFINSF feature. The "Show Database" command has the optional argument "v" to display view information in Bytes, which is fine for interrogating view sizes for individual NSF files.

If you run the NIFNSF option against a single NSF, its possible to see the base NDX allocated the NSF filename plus the randomly generated additional NDX files associated with the NSF. However, you don't know the NDX content (is it one or multiple view indexes?) but can see their size through the admin client or the operating system.

When running NIFNSF against multiple files (such as mail files), the NDX files are grouped under the source directory (e.g. "mail") but apart from the single 245Kb NDX bearing the source file name, there appears to be nothing that maps the randomly generated NDX filenames back to their source NSF, so when dealing with multiple mail files it appears not possible (?) to track any size reduction back to the source NSF. From an admin point of view this is somewhat frustrating.

Do we have to take it on trust, a bit like DAOS, or will further documentation be forthcoming that explains?
