Observations after first 5 hours of installation of Workplace 2 Beta 3
Tags :Lotus Workplace
Yes I am aware this is beta code. Yes
I am aware this is beta code. Yes I am aware this is beta code.
Just in case someone out there was going
to say, but it is still beta man! I had great success going
through the steps all the way to #18 so far. But in 18 you must run
some scripts from a command prompt that build stuff in the background.
There are four scripts listed on the page. The first script
run took about two minutes and had an error. I found that one of
the lines you have to manually specify from step #17 was case sensitive
on the COM portion of the line. It never mentions that but was the
only difference I could find in the output log file (which yes you should
use as the documentation states) and the actual line. I fixed that
but the second script ran for 37 minutes before it decided to fail. I
am troubleshooting that now but everything matches so far. I will
see.
My point is that wouldn't it be nice if
these could be run in the background from a wizard where you fill in the
necessary fields and then the properties file is configured and the scripts
run to build everything. Too much manual interaction in my opinion.
Then it could read your input and just go about it's merry business. No
way for you to screw up an extra space or very insensitive case in the
COM:ibm:db2:jdbc:DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource line for
DbDriverDs for example.
