Hi There,We are planning to upgrade our domino server from 5.09 to 6.01.
Currently, We have large number of domino applications on web in our current domino server.
Do i need to test all the application in 6.01 after upgrading?
Is there any documentation available saying the list of problem becoz of migration?
My questions above are in programming perspective.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunder

I’d never consider upgrading without testing your existing apps on the target version - I set up a test environment and a migration planning database and test each one individually - then we loaded a pilot group and had them test
There are DEFINATELY some programmatic issues.
Some will be in the “Order of execution”. See the domino redbooks for a chart explaining the order events occur as they are enforced.
You will find that the most obvious issues come from sloppy code…this is something you really need to ensure that you are ready for before you make the jump.
Overall we had only 4 apps which posed a problem - we corrected the bugs and everything went just fine.

Thanks for your reply.One more question is, Is it possible to estimate for the list of changes before starting the work.
Thanks,

Pay attention to agents that do things like “FIELD fname := fname”.In ND6, this will ALWAYS update the document, even if no update is necessary. This generates much replication traffic.
In ND6, these declarations are not needed, so it’s best you remove them.
