Hi,I’m in the need of migrating my Domino serber from R7.0 to R8.5,
I’ve gone through R8.5 administration help but could not find any procedure on how to upgrade the server.
Can someone help,
Thanks !
Subject: Pretty simple
Well, is pretty simple. first make a back up of everything. If something goes wrong, just copy the files back and you are good to go.
Now, just install the 8.5 code with the server down. It should find the current domino folders and then uninstall the version 7.0.1 and put the 8.5 code in.
Now, before you start the server run these maintenance commands (From the domino directory in a cmd prompt):
After a while you just remember these.
nfixup.exe -j -f -l -v names.nsf
nfixup.exe -j -f -l -v admin4.nsf
ncompact.exe -U -F -K -C names.nsf
ncompact.exe -U -F -K -C admin4.nsf
nupdall.exe -R names.nsf
nupadll.exe -R -t $Users names.nsf (Important for R8)
nupadll.exe -R -t $Servers names.nsf (Important for R8)
nfixup.exe (This one is optional and it might take some time depending on the size of your databases)
That’s pretty much it.
Cheers
