Lotus® Expeditor Client

In the Lotus® Expeditor Client environment application management and deployment can be controlled in a number of ways:
  • Lotus® Expeditor Server, which contains the Device Manager Server component
  • WebSphere® Portal, which allows for centrally administered, role-based access to applications
  • Eclipse update site, which provides provisioning and updating using a standard Web server
For the Lotus® Expeditor Client, the following features must be added to the default installation:
  • Lotus® Expeditor Desktop Development Utilities
  • Core JVM Feature - J2SE (only if using Lotus® Expeditor Client version 6.2.0 or earlier)

From the Lotus® Expeditor Client, select File > Application > Install > Search for new features to install > Add folder location. Browse to the following folder in the Lotus® Expeditor Client product files: desktop\updates\platform and select Finish. Expand updates/platform and Development. Put a check mark beside Lotus Expeditor Desktop Development Utilities. Select Next and complete the wizard.

For Lotus® Expeditor Client versions 6.2.0 and earlier, to install the Core JVM Feature - J2SE, from the Lotus® Expeditor Client, select File > Application > Install > Search for new features to install > Add folder location. Browse to the Desktop Runtime Environment site location, which is the update.site.dre.client directory and select OK. Accept the default site name and select OK and Finish. Expand the site and Runtime Components. Put a check mark beside Core JVM Feature - J2SE. Select Next and finish the wizard.
