Problem opening R5 and R6.5 databases

Hi everyone,

We have a mixed environment with R5 and R6.5 servers (we in the middle of a migration process), and eventualy we have to open the same replica DB (mail file) on R5 and R6.5 servers. The replicas are set to not replicate the design. When I switch between the two replica versions of the DB, weird things happen:

  • I open the R5 version of the DB on the R5 server and I can see everything OK. I close it;

  • then I open the R6.5 version of the DB on the R6.5 server and see everything OK too. I close it;

  • when I try to open the R5 version again I got all messed up. I see half R5 and half R6.5 design. Sometimes all documents appear as replication conflicts. Sometimes I got a “Illegal circular USE: CSEventNotes”;

  • sometime the R6.5 version is alson messed up, sometimes not;

  • if I close Notes client and delete the cache file when I open the client again everything is OK, until I need to open the two version DBs again;

  • this also happens on other machines and either with R5 or R6.5 client.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Regards,

Rogerio
