I'm able to get it installed, but it still doesn't work. Rather than
copy the plugins from Sametime, you should treat your Sametime
installation as another Local folder, just like the instructions
describe for RTC. So when you do File > Application > Install,
also create a Folder Location for your Sametime installation, as well
as the RTC location. Then you need to select from the Sametime
installation:

Sametime Broker Bridge Feature

plus all of them from RTC. Then hit the Select Required button and all
of the dependencies get worked out.

However, my next problem is that the broker doesn't work. When Notes
starts I get an error that it can't find the MqttPayload class, which
does in fact exist in the micro.utils plugin.

An internal error occurred during: "StartBrokerJob".

Hi Peter,

There is currently some work to do to get Jazz running together with
Notes 8. Here is the relevant excerpt of the Jazz Client Setup
guide:

- Make sure the property com.ibm.notes.branding/enable.update.ui is
set to true in the plugin_customization.ini of the Notes install
directory. Usually, this file is located at
NOTES_HOME\framework\rcp\plugin_customization.ini. If the property
does not exist, simply add it to the existing ones.
- Copy the following plugins from the Sametime 7.5.1 install to your
NOTES_HOME\framework\rcp\plugins directory:
- com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.brokerbridge
-com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.brokerbridge.constants
- com.ibm.micro
- Restart Notes 8.
- Choose File>Application>Install.
- Select Search for new features to install and press Next.
- Create a new local update site using
TEAM_CONCERT_HOME/jazz/client/sametime, where TEAM_CONCERT_HOME
denotes the location on the local filesystem where you unzipped the
Team Concert download.
- Use Team Concert Update Site as name for the new update site.
- Make sure that the created update site is selected and press Finish.

- In the following dialog, select all features from the update site
and press Next.
- Finish the install by accepting the licenses and restart Notes 8.

HTH,
Tobias

I tried following all the forum dialog and recommendations on this issue

Thanks Anthony

I also have switched to ST 7.5.1

different route you took ?


Hi David

Sorry - been off the forums for a while. The fix was to talk to
development directly and get some of the required files. This
probably would not be an option if you are external to IBM.

However, whatever route you take, you probably ought to check you have
the right versions of everything.

Since then, I have switch to the 7.5.1 Sametime connection and that
works fine. I did forget to change the sametime .ini settings at
first, but after that was fixed, it worked.

I tried following all the forum dialog and recommendations on this issue
but I am unable to get the com.ibm.micro plug-in recognized when when I
try to add the Sametime feature. Here is the error msg.

Synchronous Collaboration Sametime UI (0.6.0.200805021305) requires
plug-in "com.ibm.micro".

This plug-in is installed here:
NOTES_HOME\Data\workspace\applications\eclipse\plugins and this folder
is recognized as a legitimate folder in the Notes Application Management
dialog.

I have seen some references of trying to start notes with the -clean
option but that isn't recognized by notes.exe.

I have to go out of the country to a customer site soon and make sure I
can get this working for them so I need to get it working for myself first.

Thank you.
