Upgrade from 5x to 6.5
- Thread starter nelnet
- Start date
One to at least be aware of: Default after install/upgrade it asks for a design update of the directory (names.nsf)
If selected 'Yes' it will upgrade the design of the address book AND distribute if replications are 2 ways, which normally don't create problems, BUT as a general recommendation it is adviced to wait with this design upgrade of the directory until the ADMIN server have been updated onto version 6.5. So be aware of the word 'normally' here; It is BEST not to do the design upgrade until admin is updated...
Replication of databases on different file formats is normally not a problem.
Some other practical issues is that even with a Domino Administrator version 6.5 it won't be the full benefit of the upgrade (new functionality) until the directory is upgraded...
