If you are importing data in Lotusscript and the imported files is in utf-8 so you have specified in the open command charset=utf-8 make sure that were you are getting the files from don’t suddely produce an ordinary ANSI ascii file. Then you will probably get a server crash, because there is not check if the file is utf-8 so it tries to read the ordinary file as a multibyte file. That will corrupt arrays, lists and eventual crash the client/server.
So make sure the file format is what you think it is. One great tool to do so with is NotePad++

Setup a Mercurial or Git Source Control server for Windows
Posted by Fredrik Norling

Declan Sciolla-Lynch held a session at LS 12 AD102 about how to setup a RedMine Server for Mercurial.
I needed to see if there where a way to setup a Mercuial repository server that could run on windows it could probably run on other operating systems also but I haven’t tested any other.
If found scm-manager a java server that could handle Mercurial, Subversion and Git the best part of this server is that it has a .war file container to you could deploy it in websphere if you have this setup.
But it can also be used with Tomcat and that setup is what I will show you today.
Follow the Notes in 9 video 041 Source Control on how to setup the designer to use the Mercurial plugin.
1. Download SCM-Manager it’s the scm-webapp-1.12.war that you want to download
2. Download Tomcat 7 click on the appropriate version for your server.
3. Unzip the tomcat zip file to a folder of your choice
4. Open up the Tomcat-users.xml in the conf subfolder
here you add your admin user add the following rows
in the tomcat users section
This will add a user called admin with the password admin (select your own password)
Save the file
5. Open a commadn prompt goto the bin folder beneath the tomcat folder
Write service install This will add tomcat to run as a service.
Start the service
6. Open up a webbrowser http://127.0.0.1:8080
The tomcat main page opens up
7. Click on
Scroll down to War file to deploy
8. Select browse and select scm-webapp-1.12.war and deploy
9. Scroll up scm should now be in the list of deployed applications
10. Click on /scm-webapp-1.11 this is now your url to the repository
11. You will now be asked to login to the SCM Manager
Use scmadmin and password scmadmin
12. Click on Repository Types in the Right Navigation beneath Config
13. All the Mercurial fields are blank when you look at them
Click on Start Configuration Wizard to configure them.
in the dialog box select Download and Install
When the configuration is done. Click on Save.
14. You need to restart Tomcat or SCM-Manager to get the Mercurial as an option when creating repositories.
15. Login to SCM-Manager again and create a user
16. Create a repository and select the type a mercurial.
Now You are done, just start to push your code the the repository.
Perhaps there is a way to convert the .war file to a OSGI package so we can drop the Tomcat server.

Standby Custom control what does it do

I have added my first XSnippet today and it’s the Standby custom control.
If you add the code to a custom control and drag in into an XPage all events done in this XPage will be intercepted and if the event taks more than 200 milli seconds the dojo standby widget will show up and prevent the user from clicking.

Some of the code were originally created by two great XPage guys
Tommy Valand and Serdar BaÅeÄmez

How to prevent databaseName to change datasource
Posted by Fredrik Norling
on 15 January,2012
1 comment
Sven HasselBach blogged (Link) about that you could change the datasource of any XPage using a url parameter called databaseName. Doesn’t ACL apply you might ask. Yes it does so that isn’t a problem.
OK, isn’t there a setting to ignore url parameters, yes there are but If you use this you will get problems with the built in controls. They use url parameters.
Is this a problem then ACL apply shouldn’t that be enought?
No because there might be some databases where the user should be able to create documents in.
and this could create documents of a certain type in a database were they shouldn’t be.
To prevent the use of the databaseName parameter I have created this code that you can place in the onClientLoad event in a customcontrol or directly in an XPage
if(context.getUrl().hasParameter("databaseName")){
var url=context.getUrl()
url.removeParameter("databaseName")
context.redirectToPage(url.toString(),true)

TinyMcePath is added to be able to add a url that is server wide. And to simplify upgrade of the editor.
Url to the control at openntf.org
