Hello,when upgrading Lotus Notes/Domino from R5 to R6 you have al least two parts of applications/databsases to upgrade:
-
the “standard” DB’s (i.e. NAB, adminp-DB, users mail DB’s)
-
additional DB’s (office products, CRM, DMS, self programmed)
While the standard upgrade is not THE big problem and a lot of things are already documented (Notes Upgrade Guide, IBM Redbook, …) and - at least to my personal experience - things work fine…
the application development part is still tricky.
Example:
-
new functions in R6 (naming problems, other behaviour)
-
modified Script Libraries in R6 (other internal class structure, so old scripts using “standard” script libraries won’t work or work only partially)
QUESTION:
Is there a upgrade guide from the developers point of view?
-
a collection of known problems and workarounds
-
procedures (i.e. first change ODS, then design or vice versa - this might have different results)
-
upgrade paths
I havn’t found anything really helpful but the “whats new” section in the Designer Help 
There are some upgrade/compatibilty audits available but cover only a small set of problems each (around 30+ … 50 audits).
Any hints would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
