Among the many things that sets DOTS apart from the Domino Agent Manager is the opportunity to develop tasklets that can react to console commands. There might be many reasons for wanting that: it could be useful to refresh the currently cached tasklet configuration or running a specific task extemporaneously and even enable debugging for […]

Smoothing out DOTS configuration and sharing it across instances
Considered that one or more instances of a DOTS tasklet could be running at the same time, writing solid code might represent a challenge. Some points of attention: Each tasklet instantiates its own configuration (escheduled tasks with different time intervals included), in other words no global scope out of the box. DOTS doesn’t keep track […]
Providing configuration document for DOTS tasklets
Flexibility is always welcomed when it comes to configuring apps – or DOTS tasks in this case. A database is the usual route to store preferences that will determine their behaviour. It might be easy to set this up with a XPages applications, a little less so for a DOTS tasklet. What might immediately come […]
Steps to integrate ODA with DOTS environment
The first part of the article is now outdated because a DOTS compatible ODA version has been released since (Non-XSP). Once you start using ODA going back to dealing with object recycling isn’t an option – in other words you are pretty much spoiled for life. Problem is, ODA isn’t automatically supporting all the environments […]
Making OpenNTF Domino API work with DOTS tasklets
We all know the good that the OpenNTF Domino API project does to the hands of java developers who have to use lotus.domino classes. So, to give my tasklets a good start, I knew I had to go the OpenNTF Domino API way. However, I wasn’t able to get it to work. As soon as […]

To be honest, although exciting, I’m actually finding it frustrating. Information is scattered and I feel like I’m composing a puzzle without clearly understanding where I can find all the pieces […]
