Coexistence Manager for Notes 3.9.1 - Release Notes

Product licensing

Quest Coexistence Manager for Notes is a metered-use product that requires the application of a valid license key. When the product is installed you must install a Quest license key before you can run any CMN Windows service and before the CMN Management Console will save any configuration entries. The license key must be installed in the CMN Management Console, in the Common | Licenses screen.

You can obtain your first or a subsequent license key by contacting a Quest Software sales representative. For either a trial or perpetual license, the key takes the form of a file CoexManagerNotes-###-#####.asc (where ###-##### represents your unique license number), sent to you from Quest Licensing as an email attachment.

If you are upgrading from CMN version 3.5.x or 3.6.x, the automated upgrade process will transfer the existing license key into the new version, so you need not re-install it.

To install your license key if you are installing CMN for the first time:

1
Copy to your Desktop, or to some other convenient location, the license file (CoexManagerNotes-###-#####.asc) sent to you by email from Quest Licensing.
2
If you have not installed Coexistence Manager for Notes, run the Setup program to install the software (as described in the Upgrade and installation instructions below).
3
Once the software is installed, run the CMN Management Console. Select Licenses under the Common section of the Management Console, and click the Update License… button. Select your license, and then click OK.
4
You may review your installed licenses in the Licenses section of the configuration utility.
5
If you have previously installed a trial or other permanent license on your computer, you can upgrade to your new license by using the License screen within the Configuration utility. Click on the Update License… button to direct the program to the License Key file.

Deployment considerations

CMN’s three primary components are installed, configured and run independently. Each component’s operations require the connection and coordination of three separate environments: the Notes and Exchange environments, and the server(s) between them hosting the CMN applications. CMN operations also require the use of accounts with suitable access rights to Exchange and Notes, and of course the CMN components themselves must be configured for your own environment and operational preferences.

IMPORTANT: When configuring CMN for a hosted Exchange (such as Office 365), it is particularly important to involve your IT security specialists early in the project planning, to accommodate all of the account permissions and configuration requirements that are unique to the hosted system.

Before installing CMN, it is important to document a deployment plan. The plan should specify the components, where they will be installed, and how many instances will be required. You can install and configure the CMN components in any order you like, but consider that the Directory Connector provides directory updates the Free/Busy Connector needs to facilitate its functionality.

It is possible to install two or more CMN components on a single server, but some production environments with a greater volume of message and free/busy traffic may benefit from installing on separate servers for optimal performance. One common approach involves installing the three CMN components to three separate computers, one for each component.

Environments with very high message volume may also deploy multiple Mail Connectors and/or install the Free/Busy components on different computers:

•
Directory Connector
•
Mail Connector 1
•
Mail Connector 2
•
Mail Connector [n] ...
•
Free/Busy Connector for GW-to-Exchg F/B queries
•
Free/Busy Connector for Exchg-to-GW F/B queries

For more information, review Mail Connector Deployment Options in chapter 3 of the CMN User Guide.

For technical reasons, the QCalCon subcomponent of the Free/Busy Connector (FBC) must be installed on a Domino server. But if the Domino environment contains more than one Domino server, QCalCon is installed on only one server. (Other Domino servers must be configured to find and use the single QCalCon instance on the “bridge¬head” server.) The other four FBC subcomponents can be installed on a single computer, although deployment to two separate computers (as illustrated in chapter 4 of the CMN User Guide) will improve performance in environments with higher volumes of F/B queries and replies.

The relative processing and hardware requirements for different components will vary based on the typical activity in each environment. However, the Free/Busy Connector will see heavier demand in many environ-ments. The Mail Connector will also have requirements around mail and calendar processing, but the volume of required updates may not be excessive for many Notes and Exchange coexistence environments. Directory Connector activity is typically scheduled and requires resources only during active processing. As a result, the demands and requirements are typically lower than for either the Mail Connector or Free/Busy Connector.

AutoRun

The installation media for CMN includes an autorun.exe application. The AutoRun application provides access to useful information and links to tools needed for the CMN product, including:

•

The AutoRun Install tab includes links to install CMN components, and some additional tools:

•
Software Updates: Includes a link to versions of CMN available for download.
•
Coexistence Manager for Notes Mail Connector: Includes a link to open the CMN Mail Connector Setup Wizard.
•
Coexistence Manager for Notes Directory Connector: Includes a link to open the CMN Directory Connector Setup Wizard.
•
Coexistence Manager for Notes Free/Busy Connector: Includes a link to open the CMN Free/Busy Setup Wizard.

IMPORTANT: CMN’s Directory Connector, Mail Connector and Free/Busy Connector are independent components that are installed separately. The CMN AutoRun installer lets you choose the CMN component you want to install, and must be run on the computer where you want to install the component. (If you want to install different CMN components on different computers, you must run AutoRun on each computer.)
