About the Lotus QuickPlace server

A Lotus QuickPlace server is an IBM Lotus Domino® server that has the Lotus QuickPlace server software installed and set up on it.

Because IBM WebSphere® Portal Express is compatible with several releases of Lotus QuickPlace server software, this topic contains no step-by-step procedures for installation. Instead, you can follow the links below to locate the correct procedure for your platform and for the release of Lotus QuickPlace you intend to install. Documentation for specific releases and platforms is available over the Internet on the IBM Web site, for download and/or browsing. For information on the releases of Lotus QuickPlace supported for use with the portal, see the WebSphere Portal Express detailed system requirements.

In WebSphere Portal Express 6.0.x, Lotus QuickPlace release 7.0.x is the latest supported release.

The installation documentation covers the following basic tasks you perform to complete a Lotus QuickPlace server before you begin to integrate it with your portal site:

Critical choices for Lotus QuickPlace in a portal site

The following table lists choices common to Lotus QuickPlace installation on most or all platforms, with recommendations for use of Lotus QuickPlace with the portal. Because specific installation steps differ between platforms, the descriptions of the choices are general; do not expect to see the exact wording of the choice when installing for your platform and release. The options highlighted in this table are a subset of all choices you make during installation; in general, if not specified, accept default options.

In addition to these choices, before installation, see Planning for collaborative servers and portlets, which describes several common types of collaborative portal sites, and includes considerations related to platform, user directories, security, and performance. In particular, the Security and Performance sections contain recommendations for using IBM Lotus Sametime® and Lotus QuickPlace together.
