IBM, the leader in collaboration, has created IBM Workplace Collaboration Services, a completely integrated collaborative environment based on open standards. Workplace Collaboration Services provides a wide range of integrated ready-to-use communication and collaboration capabilities as services for the IBM Workplace environment. This includes such capabilities as e-mail, calendaring and scheduling, presence awareness, instant messaging, e-learning, team spaces, Web conferencing, and document and Web content management. The integrated design of the IBM System i5 platform provides a low-cost, low-maintenance computing system for Workplace solutions. The System i5 platform, which employs the latest implementation of Power Architecture, advances IBM eServer iSeries integration, simplicity, and low total cost of ownership to record-setting levels. You magnify the benefits of IBM Workplace Collaboration Services by hosting it on the System i5 platform. This IBM Redbooks publication is written for administrators who want to install, configure, and administer IBM Workplace Collaboration Services on the System i5 platform. It introduces you to Workplace Collaboration Services. It shows you how to deploy and customize it on the System i5 platform as well as how to configure the IBM Workplace Managed Client. In addition, this book provides many performance tips to help you optimize your Workplace Collaboration Services environment.

This IBM Redbooks publication helps you to implement Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) 6. It is targeted for system administrators who plan to implement or upgrade to LEI 6 in their organization. This book provides tips and techniques to help you successfully deploy and administer LEI 6. We begin by providing a brief introduction to what’s new with LEI 6 and cover some architectural scenarios of how LEI 6 infrastructure could be implemented in a customer’s environment. We then provide detailed information on how to install and administer LEI 6, as well as how to migrate or upgrade from LEI 3.x to LEI 6. Tools, techniques and utilities for debugging activities are described in depth, for testing connectivity to relational databases and testing connection documents in the LEI Administrator. Working examples are provided to illustrate how to use the Advanced RealTime activities that are new in LEI 6. It also provides examples of some of the batch activities previously available in LEI 3.x such as a scripted activity and a replication activity. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of the LC LSX, the LotusScript programming interface to the Lotus Connectors which lets you program any functionality you need that isn’t available through the LEI forms.

"Contextual collaboration" is a new term whirling in the industry today. This phenomenal new type of business asset can be realized by two major mechanisms: the components managing mechanism and the services delivery mechanism. The component managing mechanism deals with calendar, workflow, messaging, e-mail, and so on, while the services delivery mechanism deals with receiving and responding to a request. In terms of IBM product offerings, we have Domino for the component managing mechanism and WebSphere for the services delivery mechanism. We need standards to connect the applications from different business entities: your customers, your suppliers, your business partners, and you. These business entities may run their business applications on different platforms, different application languages, different networks, and so on. To connect these un-identical entities together, we need standards. For that, we have Web Service standards such as SOAP, WSDL, XML, and UDDI. This IBM Redbooks publication provides real application scenarios which illustrate how to transform existing Domino applications into either a Web Service provider or a Web Service requester. This is achieved and served through the integration of Domino and WebSphere Application Server.
