Hi guys,Just upgraded Domino from version 8.0 to 8.5.
What is the recommended way to upgrade the design of mailboxes to 8.5 and convert the ODS on all mailboxes?
Regards,

Subject: Two seperate processes
To go to ODS51
With Domino Server down
set CREATE_R85_DATABASES=1 in notes.ini
Run (n)compact.exe -c
Optionally use -n to set Design Compression
Optionally use -v to set Document Compression
Optionally enable DAOS before bringing the Domino Server down - See Domino Wiki for information on DAOS
Optionally if DAOS enabled use -daos on to move all attachments into DAOS store
You can use Indirect Files (.ind) to compact batches of files with different settings and to run multiple compacts at the same time.
For Upgrading Mail File Design
With Domino Server Down
Run CONVERT Task to build indirect file containing all mail file names for users whom this is their home server in the Domino Directory
(n)convert -l mailfiles.ind
Run CONVERT Task against the indirect file to upgrade to mail85.ntf design
Optionally use -s to override prohibit design replace or refresh on folders
Optionally use -u to upgrade all folders with mail8.ntf $InBox design
e.g.
(n)convert -s –u -f mailfiles.ind * mail85.ntf
