HCL during the last month has started to release a cumulative fix package for Connections 6.5 and 7.0 named cfix , released alternated by month between the versions.
Now it's time for the CFix.70.2108 of Connections 7.0 ( available on FlexNet) that include some new fixes , in questa KB di HCL.
This Cfix packages are cumulative, so you need to install only the last one, the only requirement is to have the Connections update installer updated to the 2104 version.
As you know , HCL Connections have a complementary sw named Docs, that is able to add the feature to view/edit "office" files inside Connections directly into the Browser.
During last years I've installed several of this, some complete, some limited to the Viewer/Converter part and what I like to write is the official docs it's a total mess and for a newbie it's not useful and full of wrong advice.
I 'vent checked all the pages during last weeks but some of the parameter documented are from 1.0.6 and now not supported. and refused by the installer.
As example if you like to install a Converter/viewer environment fowllowing what is written here will not be easy because it miss the right name of the packages that needs to be extracted and where to find it.
The basic steps needs to be followed are install the component as described in that page using IBM Installation Manager,
Add the GUI
yum groupinstall -y "X Window System".yum groupinstall -y "GNOME Desktop".and this libraries
yum install -y ImageMagick glibc.i686 gtk2.i686 libSM.i686. For SuSE, run zypper install -y ImageMagick glibc.i686 gtk2.i686 libSM.i686.
Also the other settings related to sudo users could be ok
Now the correct converter package 201 (not the DocsConversion_Linux_2.0.0.zip named in the docs) could be find unzipping the docs201 install in this folder
dosc201/IBMConnectionsDocs-repo/native
inside native this package are available
and are the installer of the single docs201 component
Now , after the creation of the related WebSphere Clusters , unzip the
One of the harder things in the past for customers and some partners was the complexity of the setup of a DX Portal environment.
Starting from the software acquisition HCL has started a transition for DX portal to the container world starting from the WebSphere "core" part to the new applications like DAM (the new media access gallery).
During last month HCL has pushed on github repo an example of how start a complete environment in docker-compose .
Support has also released the following video with a step by step guide.
This is a nice opportunity to have a complete Dx environment up and running in minutes
During the last days HCL ha pubblicato questo blogpost about the upcoming Sametime Meetings 11.6IF1 that will be required to support Chrome WebRTC unified Plan , scheduled for 31th August 2021.
Today the 11.6 IF1 Fix List KB was published here with an impressive number of fixes.
