Declan Sciolla-Lynch held a session at LS 12 AD102 about how to setup a RedMine Server for Mercurial.
I needed to see if there where a way to setup a Mercuial repository server that could run on windows it could probably run on other operating systems also but I haven’t tested any other.

If found scm-manager a java server that could handle Mercurial, Subversion and Git the best part of this server is that it has a .war file container to you could deploy it in websphere if you have this setup.
But it can also be used with Tomcat and that setup is what I will show you today.

Follow the Notes in 9 video 041 Source Control on how to setup the designer to use the Mercurial plugin.

1. Download  SCM-Manager it’s the scm-webapp-1.12.war that you want to download

2. Download Tomcat 7  click on the appropriate version for your server.

3. Unzip the tomcat zip file to a folder of your choice

4. Open up the Tomcat-users.xml  in the conf subfolder
here you add your admin user add the following rows

in the tomcat users section

<role rolename=”manager-gui”/>
<role rolename=”manager-script”/>
<role rolename=”manager-jmx”/>
<role rolename=”admin-gui”/>
<user username=”admin” password=”admin” roles=”manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,admin-gui”/>

This will add a user called admin with the password admin (select your own password)

Save the file

5. Open a commadn prompt goto the bin folder beneath the tomcat folder
Write service install  This will add tomcat to run as a service.
Start the service

6. Open up a webbrowser http://127.0.0.1:8080

The tomcat main page opens up

7. Click on

Scroll down to War file to deploy

9. Scroll up scm should now be in the list of deployed applications

10. Click on /scm-webapp-1.11 this is now your url to the repository

11. You will now be asked to login to the SCM Manager

Use scmadmin and password scmadmin

12. Click on Repository Types in the Right Navigation beneath Config

13. All the Mercurial fields are blank when you look at them

Click on Start Configuration Wizard to configure them.
in the dialog box select Download and Install

When the configuration is done. Click on Save.

14. You need to restart Tomcat or SCM-Manager to get the Mercurial as an option when creating repositories.

15. Login to SCM-Manager again and create a user

16. Create a repository and select the type a mercurial.

Create your own @Formula Fri, May 4th 2012 6:12a Fredrik Norling There is several ways of creating your own @Formula commands. One easy way is to create a serverside scriptlibrary and create a function that is named @MyCommand there. Include this SSJS library into your XPage / Custom Control and you have added a custom @Formula. function @Getfirstword(data){ return @Left(data,” “) } And the second way is to create your own extension to the Domino designer as Ulrich Krause has done in this new openntf project. http://www.openntf.org/internal/h [read] Keywords: domino scriptlibrary xpages openntf

This is the result of the debugger poll Sun, Apr 29th 2012 3:10a Fredrik Norling I have a little poll Link about what the developer community want from a future debugger I had 62 people responding to the poll, Not a huge amount but anyway enough to see the direction. A future debugger of XPages needs SSJS debugging, java and client side debugging is not necessary. It was a close run between new debugging features that I listed between conditional breakpoints and backwards debugging and the backwards debugging won. It would be great to have both these functions in a future [read] Keywords: domino xpages community java

New interesting openntf project Thu, Apr 26th 2012 11:12a Fredrik Norling I found this interesting project on openntf.org yeasterday Ruby in XPages if you don’t know what this is it’s an implementation so you can write Ruby code inside an XPage. You might say I don’t know Ruby so how can this be of interest to me. I don’t either know Ruby but I think the project it self has other interesting things because it shows how to implement another language into XPages, perhaps node.js, PHP or ASP.Net.

Improved calendar integration for Traveler – an idea Wed, Apr 18th 2012 6:11a Fredrik Norling I got an idea about how to improve the calendar integration in traveler. Unfortunatly the idea will only work for the Android version because I don’t think you can control the phone in IOS. The idea is that you could control settings in the phone using the calendar, this isn’t anything new if we are talking about you office phone but on your mobile phone and the change is not done in the switch board. What am I talking about then, in an Calendar appointment you setup a profile/Categ [read] Keywords: traveler integration mobile office profile server wifi

Quick tips: if you are importing data in an LS agent Sun, Mar 11th 2012 12:41a Fredrik Norling If you are importing data in Lotusscript and the imported files is in utf-8 so you have specified in the open command charset=utf-8 make sure that were you are getting the files from don’t suddely produce an ordinary ANSI ascii file. Then you will probably get a server crash, because there is not check if the file is utf-8 so it tries to read the ordinary file as a multibyte file. That will corrupt arrays, lists and eventual crash the client/server. So make sure the file format is what yo [read] Keywords: agent lotusscript server
