Suggested criteria
Prior to choosing and installing applications for hosted organizations, do the following:
1. Decide how to track the applications available to each hosted organization. IBM® Lotus® Domino® does not include an application to track installed applications.
2. Evaluate applications. For example, if an application is IBM® Lotus® Notes®-based, it may need to access external files, or, it may be a Java™ application.
3. Evaluate the reliability of the application. Is the application reliable or does it cause the server to stop or crash? Determine the impact, if any, that each application has on server performance.
4. Determine if the application presents any security risks. Ensure that the application does not allow users to navigate the file system or add or run their own executable programs.
5. Evaluate how well the new application integrates with the existing configuration.
6. Test each application on a non-production server before installing it on an xSP server. Make sure that each application is easy to install for each hosted organization.
Note Domino does not support the use of servlets for xSP servers.
