Open IBM Sametime chat window programmatically

Question

Consider a scenario where Sametime chat is already running. It is possible open chat with another person from another program? Can you please tell me the procedure?

Thanks a lot, Omkar

Answer 1

I think what you're asking is possible, but your question isn't clear. Perhaps you can expand on what your final goal is. Sametime has data channels, IM channels and all sorts, and lots of things are possible with the different toolkits.

Most likely from your question, you can do this using the web connect API, which is documented in the sametime SDK. It would involve making a HTTP request from your application that wants to launch a chat window to the HTTP server that is running within the Sametime client.
