Running the name conversion utility on IBM i

Follow these instructions to run the name conversion utility on an IBM® i operating system.

Procedure

  1. Stop the IBM Sametime® Community Server.
  2. From an IBM i command line, run the "QSH" command. This command starts the QShell interpreter, where the Name Change task is run.
  3. Type the following commands:
    cd server data directory
    stnamechange server_data_directory domino_bin_directory
    where domino_bin_directory is an optional parameter. The default directory is /qibm/proddata/lotus/notes, which causes the command to use the latest version of Domino® installed on the system.

    If the Sametime Community server is using an earlier release of Domino, specify the appropriate Domino bin directory.

    Domino version used by Sametime Community server Associated domino bin directory
    Domino 9.0 and later /qibm/proddata/lotus/domino900
    Domino 8.5.3 FP5 /qibm/proddata/lotus/domino853
  4. When the command completes, press F3 to exit QSH.

    To verify whether all of the names were changed successfully, view the following files in the /trace subdirectory of the server data directory:

    namechange_YYMMDD_XXXX.txt

    name_change_summary_report_YYMMDD_XXXX.log

    If you encounter problems, add VP_NCSA_TRACE=1 to the Debug section of the sametime.ini file to collect additional debug information when you run the name change utility.

  5. Restart the Sametime Community Server.

    Restart all Sametime Community Servers in your deployment so they can detect the modified name. If your deployment includes Sametime Unified Telephony, restart all Telephony Application Servers as well.
