Build your own Watson Workspace Linux Client  

By Christoph Stoettner | 3/29/18 5:12 PM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

Watson Workspace Clients are only available for Windows and Mac OS. I’m a 100% Linux user on my devices and I use a Windows virtual machine only if I can’t avoid it. To communicate with colleagues, IBM and DNUG I need to use Watson Workplace, opening the web view is possible, but then I need to search the right tab or forget to open it. Since some weeks there is Zoom (Web / Video meetings) integrated with Watson Workspace too.

Better logstash filter to analyze SystemOut.log and some more  

By Christoph Stoettner | 5/29/16 4:14 PM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

Last week I wrote a post about Using Docker and ELK to Analyze WebSphere Application Server SystemOut.log, but i wasn’t happy with my date filter and how the websphere response code is analyzed. The main problem was, that the WAS response code is not always on the beginning of a log message, or do not end with “:” all the time.

Using Docker and ELK to Analyze WebSphere Application Server SystemOut.log  

By Christoph Stoettner | 5/28/16 10:19 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

I often get SystemOut.log files from customers or friends to help them analyzing a problem. Often it is complicated to find the right server and application which generates the real error, because most WebSphere Applications (like IBM Connections or Sametime) are installed on different Application Servers and Nodes. So you need to open multiple large files in your editor, scroll each to the needed timestamps and check the lines before for possible error messages.

Missing images in Wikis after migration to IBM Connections 5.5  

By Christoph Stoettner | 3/6/16 5:21 PM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

Wikis in IBM Connections 5.5 have a little bug, because the link (/library instead of /wikis/form/api/library) for images are wrong and so they are not displayed. There is a technote, which should solve this issue, but the used way with ProxyPass is not what i want to use.

Another new feature with IBM Connections 5.0 CR3  

By Christoph Stoettner | 8/18/15 2:40 PM | - | Added by Oliver Busse

Within the fixlist of the new released CR3 of IBM Connections 5 there are several new configuration options mentioned. One of the interesting ones for me is the mobile update parameter AllowRemoveAccount. The default value is “false” and your Connections environment still works before, but what’s changed when you set this to true?

Using markdown with IBM Connections Blogs

I use markdown since years to create my articles or most of documentation stuff. It’s really cool to edit the text files on all of my devices, synchronize them fast through various internet services and create HTML, PDF or even DOCX files out of this sources.
