What are the license requirements for ICAA? Is ICAA free? I called the IBM Passport Advantage folks who dug into it more and I was forwarded an email from the Offering Manager for IBM Collaborative Solutions saying that indeed ICAA is a replacement for the Notes Browser Plugin. I have accessed a wide variety of Notes applications with ICAA, from simple to complex, and except for not supporting attachment viewing and providing for spellcheck in rich text fields, the applications seem to behave the same as they do when you use the full Notes client.īelow is one of our older commercial DLI applications that has since been retired, the DLI HelpDesk, viewed using ICAA. In fact, if you make a copy of your Notes/Data directory, delete Notes, then install ICAA you can have the Workplace appear with your applications similar to what you see with the Notes client, standard or basic varieties. It even has the traditional Notes Workspace where your applications appear on tabs. It has a similar look and feel to the R9 Notes client. This 80 ish mb client is very much a Notes client. Or maybe it is in fact the Notes Browser Plugin repackaged, and not a key part of the Notes and Domino road map after all. By making Smartcloud a requirement to run ICAA it would encourage customers to move their Notes based applications to the IBM Cloud. If they were to stop selling the Notes client, Verse could provide IBM customers still using Notes for email with an alternative, and ICAA would provide a way of accessing existing applications.
This IBM announcement letter says that “the IBM® Client Application Access delivers a lightweight solution, enabling you to move to a browser-based interface for email (IBMiNotes®, IBM SmartCloud® Notes® web, or IBM Verse™), while continuing to work with existing Notes and Domino® applications.”īased on the above ICAA may lend support to the theory that IBM is perhaps looking to retire the Notes client. If you have not seen ICAA, check out this 1.5 minute video clip.
