Part 1: Potential

From my Blackberry device I can search all employees
at IBM
I do a search on “rest” development to find an
expert in that area
12 people are returned from the search results
Luis is at the top of the list and I look at his corporate
profile
I can access his contact details and initiate
communication from here
Instead I look at the tags that have been generated by users to describe Luis
I also look at his “About Me” to see how he describes himself.
I decide to connect with Luis via instant messaging
We chat and he will assist us with our REST questions
in the evening

High Level Architecture
Pilot Deployment
• Supports only Windows 2003
• Maximum of 100 concurrent users
• Installation installs WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.13 and DB2 Express
• No LDAP is installed, and no integration with existing LDAP
• Registered users are imported into the Self Contained Pilot via a text file
• Can migrate data from this pilot to a production deployment
Proof of Concept Deployment
• Appropriate for simple demos, light testing• Lotus Connect services must be installed into their own WepSphere Application
Server instance– Can not all be loaded into default server1– Should use separate profiles using WepSphere Application Server profile
manager (best practice) – Can also be created using ‘wsadmin’ script into a single profile
