Neglected to do Post-Upgrade tasks according to white paper

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello all,

We have just upgraded all servers in our Notes Network (we have only one). I just read in the IBM White Paper ‘Upgrading to Lotus Notes and Domino 6’ that I should have run fixup, compact, and updall on the ‘names.nsf’, and the admin4.nsf databases from an OS command line prompt BEFORE I started the Notes server. I did not do this. We have noticed a significant slowdown in performance in mail routing, and AdminP keeps picking up old requests and re-processing them when we re-boot that server,and our main application database has been re-indexing all day. Nothing appears to be totally ‘wrecked’, but the main tasks of Notes are definitely slower. Do I just need to bring the servers back off-line and run the OS-level commands, or is there a way to do this that doesn’t so dramatically impact our users?

Thanks,

Patrick

Subject: You must. It is important to change to the R6 ODS 4.3 before restarting the server.

Be sure also to check the box on the “propeller head” database properties in names.nsf to “Allow more fields in database”. I would strongly recommend that you then run “ncompact -c” to convert all dbs on the server to the 4.3 ODS as well.

I agree, you must follow the instruction you missed.–
