How can I "Upgrade the design of the Domino Directory" AFTER upgrading from R5->R6?

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

We just upgraded our Domino server from R5.7 to R6.5.2.

When we first started the Domino (now 6.5.2) server, a question popped up on the server console asking: “Do you wish to upgrade the design of the Domino Directory …” (Yes/No)

We said “No” but now we would like to perform this upgrade. We can shut the server down or leave it running, either way.

Can anyone provide step(s) on how to either regenerate the aforementioned question upon server startup (so we can answer “Yes” this time) or tell us the safest way (i.e. the one that has the least chance of resulting in problems) to do it after the fact.

thanks much,

If you just leave it overnight, it happens anyway. To make sure it is fully updated, you should make sure all the mail is routed (route all) then shut down the server and run the following commands:

ndesign -f names.nsf

ndesign -f admin4.nsf

ndesign -f webn&a.nsf

ndesign -f extranab.nsf

nfixup names.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact names.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall names.nsf -R

nfixup admin4.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact admin4.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall admin4.nsf -R

nfixup certlog.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact certlog.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall certlog.nsf -R

;optional:

nfixup cldbdir.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact cldbdir.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall cldbdir.nsf -R

;optional:

nfixup domcfg.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact domcfg.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall domcfg.nsf -R

;optional:

nfixup da.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact da.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall da.nsf -R

nfixup events4.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact events4.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall events4.nsf -R

nfixup statrep.nsf -f -j -v -l

ncompact statrep.nsf -c -i -K -F

nupdall statrep.nsf -R

Also run these same commands on any other directories you have configured in directory assistancce. In addition, if you haven’t done it already, with the server still down, rename log.nsf to log.old, catalog.nsf to catalog.old, then restart the server.

Those commands should be run from a DOS prompt in the Domino data directory with the directory for Domino executables in the system PATH statement.

Can’t you just do a ‘replace design’? And choose the 6.5 domino directory template? It should work just fine, like any other template.
