After I installed LN 8.5 each time when I run LN8.5 the sametime run also. I don't like this because I don't use it. So if you want to disable it you should add/change variable in notes.ini
IM_DISABLED=1
IM_DISABLE=1
IM_SHOW_STATUS=1
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.application/useSystemTray=false
Please notice 2 variations of IM_DISABLED / IM_DISABLE, it depends of version of LN you have, so if one does not work for you, try another setting.
Instead of going thru all of that
ReplyDeleteIM_DISABLE=1
should work for you.

HTH,

I know but it did not switch off IM on my PC. I use 8.5

ReplyDeletePresently, this parameter will not control the appearance of the Sametime icon within the OS System Tray. An additional SPR has been generated for that review.
use
ReplyDeleteIM_SHOW_STATUS=0 also.
did all that, didnt help me much though, the IM_Disable=0 only just hide the client\plugin, NOT disabeling it at all :(
ReplyDeleteThanks using all of them I could resolve the issue in my client Lotus Notes 8.
ReplyDeleteIM_DISABLE=1
IM_SHOW_STATUS=0

Thank u!!!!
Really helpful tips on this page! Thanks a bunch.

this worked for me as well on RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.2 with Notes version 8.5.1
ReplyDeleteI changed /home//lotus/notes/data/notes.ini
removed the original IM_SHOW_STATUS=1
and appended
IM_DISABLE=1
IM_SHOW_STATUS=1
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.application/useSystemTray=false
to the file, after restart no more embedded sametime, and notes uses around 40 MB res memory less.
Do not mess around with removing the plugins inside the eclipse settings of notes, it takes forever to disable all sametime related stuff and it has many pitfalls that potentially will mess up your notes.
Now i can finally use the seperate Lotus Sametime client without having the embedded one gets in my way.
Also, i highly recommend increasing the max heap amount (vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx1024m) in the file /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/deploy/jvm.properties
It greatly increases the responsiveness on machines with enough physical memory,
Disabling Sametime results in the Sametime Meetings client running meetings in the "browser client" rather than within Notes unless you use the embedded browser. Depending on how you are setup, this could result in not being able to share your screen in Sametime Meetings.
ReplyDeleteI know this is an old post but I found it when trying to solve an issue on our mac clients: you need to update this post so it says IM_DISABLED=1. The word is disabled, not disable. The D is very important!
ReplyDeletethanks Deekman, updated!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like for IBM Lotus Notes 8.5
ReplyDeleteRelease 8.5.2FP3
Revision 20110711.1400-FP3 (Release 8.5.2FP3)
Standard Configuration
It should not have the "D" so it should be
IM_DISABLE=1
Thanks, so it could go both ways with/without D depends of version. post has been udpated.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteIM_DISABLE=1 worked for me. Notes 8.5.
IM_DISABLED=1 in user profile directory worked in my case
ReplyDeleteNotes 8.5.
Thanks so much, IM_DISABLED=1 worked for me!
