Use this as a tool when installing servers and clients for HCL Notes® users.

The servers to install include the following:

• HCL Domino® server.
• (Optional) HCL Sametime® server. Required if you want Sametime awareness and chat in the Notes client.
• (Optional) HCL Connections server. Required if you want to use Activities or Connections within Notes.
• (Optional) HCL Digital Experience server. Required if you want to use composite applications that contain portlets.

• Notes

  This provides Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and options including Composite Application Editor, Feed Reader, Connections (Activities), OpentSocial component and Sametime (integrated).

  Notes pre-installation checklist
  Review this checklist before starting HCL Notes install or upgrade.

  Specifying the home portal account
  To use features that require an HCL Digital Experience server, such as composite applications that contain portlets, HCL Notes users need a Home Portal account. The Home Portal account is a unique account that specifies which Digital Experience server to connect to for features and composite applications that require a Digital Experience server. You can set up a Home Portal account for users using policy, and Notes users can create and edit the account using a preference panel.
