DST - don't forget about your Enterprise Integration components!

Today was my turn to venture into the DST rabbit hole. One thing NOT included in IBM's deployment guide: Enterprise Integration components. Absolutely, positively no mention anywhere of that. A friend on IRC stumbled across this fix for Notes 7, but it says nothing about Notes 6 or 6.5 clients.

I called Lotus support and was told the EI queue is callback only, and they only repond to critical calls on weekends. DST updates are not considered critical (yet?). It's also a little strange that numerous other hotfixes are posted with the technotes, but for the EI components you have to call support and ask for them if you're using Domino versions prior to 6.5.5 or 7.0.1.

**UPDATE**

I posed the question about EI updates for Notes 6/6.5 on the developerWorks Lotus forum, and Jean-Yves Riverin responded with the following collection of documents:

DST 2007 fix for Lotus Enterprise Integrator 6.x
Contains instructions for obtaining a fix to address Daylight Saving Time 2007 changes in Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) 6.x.

DST 2007 fix for Lotus Enterprise Integrator 7.x
Contains instructions for obtaining a fix to address Daylight Saving Time 2007 changes in Lotus Enterprise Integrator (LEI) 7.x.

DST 2007 fix for Domino Enterprise Connection Services 7.x

Notes 6.x client DST 2007 fix for LSX for Lotus Connectors (LSXLC)
Contains instructions for obtaining a fix to address Daylight Saving Time 2007 changes in the Notes 6.x client for LSX for Lotus Connectors (LSXLC).

Notes 7.x client DST 2007 fix for LSX for Lotus Connectors (LSXLC)
Contains instructions for obtaining a fix to address Daylight Saving Time 2007 changes in the Notes 7.x client for LSX for Lotus Connectors (LSXLC).


Now to figure out how to differentiate between R6 and R7 clients in a logon script.... I'll post that when I figure it out.
