IBM Connections can be the datasource or the data destination for many other applications. In this session we will show you how you can use TDI to maintain Community membership through an IBM Domino application or how you get data from the IBM Connections databases and use it in an IBM Domino application. Come and see how you can reuse data without any headache and how your Admin life gets easier by using TDI assembly lines. Klaus Bild & Wannes Rams

- 10. How to use TDI with Domino Available Connectors for Notes/Domino: • Domino Change Detec6on Connector (Mode: I): Enables TDI to detect when changes have occurred to a nsf database maintained on a Domino server and reports changed Domino documents. • Domino Users Connector (Mode: ADILU): Provides access to Lotus Domino user accounts and the means for managing them. • Lotus Notes Connector (Mode: ADILU): Works directly with any type of Notes Documents in any .nsf database. • Domino AdminP Connector (Mode: AI): The Domino AdminP Connector is a special version of the Lotus Notes Connector, the database parameter is always set to admin4.nsf. It has the capability to sign fields while adding a document and you can create AdminP request. Or use non Domino specific: LDAP Connector (ADILUΔ) / HTTP Client Connector (AILC)
- 11. How to use TDI with Domino Supported session types by Connector -‐> IIOP session gives you the highest flexibility Supported Sessions > Connectors V Local Client Session Local Server Session IIOP session Domino Change Detec?on Connector Yes No Yes Domino Users Connector Yes Yes Yes Lotus Notes Connector Yes Yes Yes Domino AdminP Connector No Yes Yes
- 12. How to use TDI with Domino If you are using IIOP sessions, perform the following: • Ensure the Notes.jar file does not exist in the TDI_install_dir/jars folder and any of its subfolders. • Copy Domino_data/domino/java/NCSO.jar to TDI_install_dir/jars/3rdparty/IBM or to the folder specified by the com.ibm.di.loader.userjars property in global.proper?es (or solu?on.proper?es).
- 13. How to use TDI with Connec?ons Pre-‐packaged scripts with IBM Connec6ons: “Official” way to go if you want to change which users are imported or want to change/add/get profile data. Included scripts: collect_dns, delete_or_inac?vate_employees, dump_photos_to_files, dump_pronounce_to_files, fill_country/department/emp_type/organiza?on/workloc, load_photos_from_files, load_pronounce_from_files, mark_managers, populate_from_dn_file, sync_all_dns Needs setup, has to be imported into TDI solu?on directory and will add two addi?onal connectors (Profile/Photo) as well. IBM Connec6ons API: Gives you access to almost every func?on that you can access and use through the IBM Connec?ons user interface. You can use standard TDI connectors (i.e. HTTP Client connector). Be aware that the API documenta?on is not very good (to say it nicely).
- 14. How to use TDI with Connec?ons IBM Social Business Toolkit: TDI is java based and therefore you can use the IBM SBT SDK to create your own script connectors. You have to import some parts of the SDK into your TDI environment. You definitely should have a developer background. -‐> hmp://de.slideshare.net/AndreasArtner/ac?vity-‐stream-‐how-‐to-‐feed-‐the-‐beast Direct Database access: Connec?ons stores almost everything inside the RDBMS but there is no public DB schema info from IBM. This is not a supported way to change data inside Connec?ons (although some Partner solu?ons directly manipulate data in the database and their solu?ons are IBM supported). But you can use it to get data from Connec?ons.
- 15. Create a Wiki page with users of your Domino address book -‐ Example
- 16. Create a Wiki page with users of your Domino address book -‐ Example
- 17. Wiki page – How to 1. Get all Domino users in names.nsf: Just use Domino Users Connector in iterator mode, easy. Best prac?ce: Always use property files for your parameters, it will save you a lot of ?me if you want to use the AL with different servers, environments!
- 18. Wiki page – How to 2. Create the Wiki page Atom document (AL create_Wiki_Entry_Atom): • Find out how the Atom document has to be build (hmp://www-‐10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/dx/Wiki_page_content_ic50) or try the SBT playground hmps://greenhouse.lotus.com/sbt/SBTPlayground.nsf/ Explorer.xsp#api=Social_Wikis_API_Working_with_wiki_pages • Should be easy but… Example on SBT playground (does not work) • Works if you change the content line to <content type="text/html"><![CDATA[<p>This is James's wiki page.</p>]]>
- 19. Wiki page – How to 2. AL create_Wiki_Entry_Atom: • Define the HTML code for the page • Use the Prolog for the first part • Use the iterator to generate the list • Use the Epilog for the closing
- 20. Wiki page – How to 2. AL create_Wiki_Entry_Atom: • This is the final code, all on ONE line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-‐8"?><entry xmlns="hmp://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><content type="text/html"><![CDATA[<div><p dir="ltr"><strong style="color: rgb(67, 106, 173);font-‐size:large;">All data is from the Domino directory -‐ Example for ICON UK </strong> <img src="/images/graphics-‐star-‐ wars-‐300566.gif" width="151" height="100"/></p><table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" dir="ltr" style="border-‐collapse: collapse; width: 800px;" width="246"><tbody><tr height="14"><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td><strong>Shortname</strong></td><td><strong>Title</strong></ td><td><strong>Company</strong></td><td><strong>Number</strong></td><td><strong>Photo (Connec?ons photo!)</strong></td></tr><tr><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">Chris?an Guedemann</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Chris?an.Guedemann@snt.com</span></ span></td><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">CGU</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Chris?an.Guedemann@snt.com</ span></span></td><td>Senior System Architect</td><td>WebGate Consul?ng AG</td><td><a href="sip://+41008008008">+41008008008</a></ td><td><div style="width: 150px;height: 150px;border-‐radius: 75px;-‐webkit-‐border-‐radius: 75px;-‐moz-‐border-‐radius: 75px;background: url(/profiles/ photo.do?email=Chris?an.Guedemann@snt.com) no-‐repeat;"></div></td></tr><tr><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">Klaus Bild</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Klaus.Bild@snt.com</span></span></td><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">KBI</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Klaus.Bild@snt.com</span></span></td><td>Senior System Architect</td><td>WebGate Consul?ng AG</td><td><a href="sip://+41004004004">+41004004004</a></td><td><div style="width: 150px;height: 150px;border-‐radius: 75px;-‐webkit-‐border-‐radius: 75px;-‐moz-‐ border-‐radius: 75px;background: url(/profiles/photo.do?email=Klaus.Bild@snt.com) no-‐repeat;"></div></td></tr><tr><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">Christoph Stoemner</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">CHristoph.Stoemner@snt.com</span></span></td><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">CST</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">CHristoph.Stoemner@snt.com</span></span></td><td>Senior IT Consultant</td><td>Fritz and Macziol GmbH</td><td><a href="sip://+41003003003">+41003003003</a></td><td><div style="width: 150px;height: 150px;border-‐radius: 75px;-‐webkit-‐border-‐radius: 75px;-‐moz-‐border-‐radius: 75px;background: url(/profiles/photo.do? email=CHristoph.Stoemner@snt.com) no-‐repeat;"></div></td></tr><tr><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">Sharon Bellamy</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Sharon.Bellamy@snt.com</span></span></td><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">SBE</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Sharon.Bellamy@snt.com</span></span></td><td>IT Consultant</td><td>Cube So{ Consul?ng</td><td><a href="sip://+41003003003">+41003003003</a></td><td><div style="width: 150px;height: 150px;border-‐radius: 75px;-‐webkit-‐border-‐radius: 75px;-‐moz-‐ border-‐radius: 75px;background: url(/profiles/photo.do?email=Sharon.Bellamy@snt.com) no-‐repeat;"></div></td></tr><tr><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">Wannes Rams</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Wannes.Rams@snt.com</span></span></td><td><span class="vcard"><a class="fn url" href="">WRA</a><span class="email" style="display: none;">Wannes.Rams@snt.com</span></span></td><td>Social Business Consultant</td><td>GFI</td><td><a href="sip://+41003003003">+41003003003</a></td><td><div style="width: 150px;height: 150px;border-‐ radius: 75px;-‐webkit-‐border-‐radius: 75px;-‐moz-‐border-‐radius: 75px;background: url(/profiles/photo.do?email=Wannes.Rams@snt.com) no-‐repeat;"></ div></td></tr></tbody></table></div> ]]></content><category scheme="tag:ibm.com,2006:td/type" term="page" label="page" /></entry>
- 21. Wiki page – How to 3. Send the Wiki page Atom document to the Wikis API (HTTP client connector): • This is good documented (no joke) hmp://www-‐10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/dx/ Upda?ng_a_wiki_page_ic50
- 22. Wiki page – How to This user needs editor rights on the Wiki
- 23. Wiki page – SSL requests • Most Connec?ons environments force traffic over SSL • If you get following error if you call the Connec?ons API through SSL you have to import the Connec?ons server cer?ficate into TDI_install_dir/jserverapi/testadmin.jks (pw: administrator)
- 24. Wiki page – How to • Final step is to create an AL with combines the create_Wiki_Entry_Atom AL and the HTTP client connector
- 25. Export users last logon date per applica?on -‐ Example
- 26. Export users last logon date per applica?on -‐ Example
- 27. Export users last logon date – How to • We will export the last logon date for all users • For all applica?ons • Export to Domino • Export to CSV • This runs scheduled weekly as a repor?ng to our deployment team
- 28. Export users last logon date – How to The workflow is as follows: 1. Iterate through all entries in the PeopleDB and fetch uid and full name 2. Connect to applica?on table that contains profile 3. Fetch user key 4. Connect to Applica?on table that contains last logon date 5. Repeat for all applica?ons 6. Write to Domino 7. Write to csv
- 29. Export users last logon date – How to • Create a new assemble line and add a Database Connector. Make it an iterator and connect it to your Profiles database Employee table
- 30. Export users last logon date – How to • I will show you for 1 database and then give you the mapping table for the other databases • Connect to the Files database, USER_TO_LOGIN table
- 31. Export users last logon date – How to • Use the uid_lower as your key to find the relevant user key
- 32. Export users last logon date – How to
- 33. Export users last logon date – How to • Now connect to the Files database USER table to get the last logon date of this user using the USER_ID fetched in the last step as a link
- 34. Export users last logon date – How to • Repeat these steps for all applica?ons, except Blogs. The Blogs database table ROLLERUSER contains uid and last logon date. On top of that it is the only table that uses the uid as is and not converted to lowercase.(thank god for consistency)
- 35. Export users last logon date – How to • This is the table for all the databases Applica6on Uid lookup Table Table Name Uid Column User Key Column Blogs Not needed Not needed Not needed Bookmarks PERSONLOGIN LOGINNAME PERSON_ID Files USER_TO_LOGIN LOGIN_ID LOGIN_ID Forum DF_MEMBERLOGIN LOGINNAME_LOWER MEMBERID Homepage LOGINNAME LOGINNAME PERSON_ID Ac?vi?es OA_MEMBERLOGIN LLOGINNAME MEMBERID Profiles EMPLOYEE PROF_UID_LOWER PROF_KEY Communi?es MEMBERLOGIN LOWER_LOGIN MEMBER_UUID Wikis USER_TO_LOGIN LOGIN_ID USER_ID
- 36. Export users last logon date – How to • This is the table for all the databases Applica6on Last Logon table Table Name Uid Last Logon Blogs ROLLERUSER USERNAME LASTLOGIN Bookmarks PERSON PERSON_ID LASTLOGIN Files USER ID LAST_VISIT Forum MEMBERPROFILE MEMBERID LASTLOGIN Homepage PERSON PERSON_ID LAST_UPDATE Ac?vi?es OA_MEMBERPROFILE MEMBERID LASTLOGIN Profiles PROFILE_LAST_LOGIN PROF_KEY LAST_LOGIN Communi?es MEMBERPROFILE MEMBER_UUID LASTLOGIN Wikis USER ID LAST_VISIT
- 37. Export users last logon date – How to • Create a Domino Database with a form called “User” and following fields: – Ac?vi?es_LASTLOGIN, Name, Blogs_LASTLOGIN, Communi?es_LASTLOGIN, Dogear_LASTLOGIN, Files_LASTVISIT, Forum_LASTVISIT, Homepage_LASTUPDATE, Profiles_LASTLOGIN, Uid, Wikis_LASTVISIT • And a view to show these
- 38. Export users last logon date – How to • Add a LotusNotes connector to the assembly line and connect it to your database using diiop. • Set the mode to “AddOnly”
- 39. Export users last logon date – How to • Create the following output map • The reason for not having the value as is in the le{ column is because the value you get from db2 is in java.sql.date format, we need to make sure we get the string
- 40. Export users last logon date – How to • To dump to a csv file add a File System Connector and select csv as parser. Add the header fields to the Field Names and enable the write header • Set “;” as your seperator
- 41. Export users last logon date – How to Now we need to set the file loca?on and file name. We want to make this dynamic so we can schedule the script. File loca?on will be defined in the property file. Use the following javascript to define the filename and loca?on var srcPath=system.getTDIProperty("Cnx", "export_path") var stDateStamp=system.formatDate((new Date()),"yyyyMMdd"); var outFile=srcPath + system.getTDIProperty("Cnx", "export_filename") + stDateStamp + ".csv"; return outFile
- 42. Export users last logon date – How to • For the csv file we can output in the original format, no need to transform to String as the parser will do this for us.
- 43. Community membership through a Domino application - Example
- 44. Community membership -‐ Example
- 45. Community membership – How to The workflow is as follows: 1. Iterate through all Community entries in the Notes DB 2. Create Community if it is a new Community • Check if it is a new community • Create Community Atom entry • Call/Reply request to the Communi?es API • Get the Uuid of the new Community & write it back to the Notes DB 3. Add missing members to every Community • Iterate through all members found in the Community entry (from the Notes DB) and look if user is not a member in the Community member feed • Create member Atom entry • Send the member Atom entry to the Communi?es API 4. Add missing Owners (same steps as for member adding)
- 46. Community membership – How to 1. Iterate through all Community entries in the Notes DB: Just use Lotus Notes Connector in iterator mode, again this is easy. You don’t need a running HTTP task on Domino if you use the DIIOP IOR string as Server IP Address!
- 47. Community membership – How to 3. Send the Wiki page Atom document to the Wikis API (HTTP client connector): • This is good documented (no joke) hmp://www-‐10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/dx/ Upda?ng_a_wiki_page_ic50
- 48. Community membership – How to 2. Create Community if it is a new Community • Check if it is a new community
- 49. Community membership – How to 2. Create Community if it is a new Community • Create Community Atom entry var atom_community_entry = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-‐8"? ><entry xmlns="hmp://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:app="hmp:// www.w3.org/2007/app" xmlns:snx="hmp://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/ sn"><?tle type="text">' + work.Community_Name + '</?tle><content type="html">' + work.Descrip?on + '</content><category term="community" scheme="hmp://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/type"></ category><snx:communityType>' + work.Access + '</snx:communityType></ entry>';
- 50. Community membership – How to 2. Create Community if it is a new Community • Call/Reply request to the Communi?es API This user needs the admin security role for the Communi?es app! (WAS Admin Console)
- 51. Community membership – How to 2. Create Community if it is a new Community • Get the Uuid of the new Community & write it back to the Notes DB
- 52. Community membership – How to 3. Add missing members to every Community • Get the Community member feed (received with HTTP client connector) This will create a request to following URL: …/communi?es/service/atom/ community/members?communityUuid= $uuid&role=member
- 53. Community membership – How to 3. Add missing members to every Community • Iterate through all members found in the Community entry (from the Notes DB) and look if user is not a member in the Community member feed
- 54. Community membership – How to 3. Add missing members to every Community • Create member Atom entry through script: var atom_member_entry = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-‐8"?><entry xmlns="hmp://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:app="hmp://www.w3.org/ 2007/app" xmlns:snx="hmp://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/ sn"><contributor>¨<email>' + work.InternetAddress + '</ email><snx:role>member</snx:role></contributor><snx:role component="hmp://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/communi?es">member</ snx:role></entry>’;
- 55. Community membership – How to 3. Add missing members to every Community • Send the member Atom entry to the Communi?es API (HTTP client connector) URL on next page This user needs the admin security role for the Communi?es app! (WAS Admin Console)
- 56. Community membership – How to 3. Add missing members to every Community • Send the member Atom entry to the Communi?es API (HTTP client connector) This will create a request to following URL: …/communi?es/service/atom/community/ members?communityUuid=$uuid
- 57. Community membership – How to 4. Add missing Owners (same steps as for members) var atom_owner_entry = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-‐8"?><entry xmlns="hmp:// www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:app="hmp://www.w3.org/2007/app" xmlns:snx="hmp:// www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn"><contributor>¨<email>' + work.InternetAddress_Owner + '</ email><snx:role>owner</snx:role></contributor><snx:role component="hmp://www.ibm.com/ xmlns/prod/sn/communi?es">owner</snx:role></entry>’;
