IBM Xwork Server - no you cannot replicate admin4 and others


Tags :



While reading more and listening to the webcasts given by IBM on the new IBM XWork Server, something was sticking in the back of my mind that was missing.  I couldn't place it till this weekend.  The license agreement has a few restrictions as expected. You cannot partition the code, nor can you replicate or cluster with other non-XWork server.  I fully agree and understand.

However this is where I caught a small wording issue.

Replication of the Program is permitted only with Licensees corporate directory and the Program servers.

I was reading the full IBM License Document for the IBM XWork Server (only for you and customers, not because I do this daily) and caught the above line.  What this means is you cannot also replicate admin4, Domino Domain Monitoring, Directory Assistance or other system databases.

So things like name changes, collection hierarchies and directory structures will need to be stand-alone inside the XWork environment.

Does anyone else see an issue with that for renames and other adminp processing?
