Carl Tyler: What do you install to use Sametime 8.5 ?
by Volker Weber
Now that Sametime 8.5 is available, you might be confused by what you need to download and install to get certain capabilities. Before you start though be sure to read the IBM Lotus Sametime Standard V8.5 Windows i5 Multilingual Quickstart Guide, also if possible for your first couple attempts I would suggest installing under VMware, and taking lots of snapshots as you progress, I can pretty much guarantee as some point you'll screw up and wish you could go back.
Summary: it can be very complicated. All the new capabilities require Websphere and DB2, plus all the supporting software.

This reminds me on installing the workplace server. "Next" => Snapshot, "Next" => Snapshot. Drink some coffee. "Next" => Snapshot...
*Sigh*
Wish it was so complicated for those of us without Websphere/DB2. Just install the Community Server and get no extra goodies at all
Tobias, well, it is the technology, just under a different name.
I just stopped after I did not find any support for BlackBerry OS5 ... ;-)
You can listen to Carl talk about Sametime 8.5 on Episode 103 of The Taking Notes Podcast.
Tis the way of things with IBM.. Sametime, ILWCM, and Notes 8.5 all getting overly sophisticated, or dare I say .... over-engineered.....
Sigh!
