What mechanism controls the design of the Personal Address Book during a client upgrade? All users are roaming and many have no template assigned to their PAB. I was expecting that their PAB design wouldn’t be updated during the upgrade, but during testing it seems to be happening. This is welcome, but without understanding why, I wonder whether this will work for all the remaining users.
Subject: notes.ini variable
When you install a new release of Notes, the internal code updates the six-digit TEMPLATESETUP variable in notes.ini. For example, in R7, the templateSetup variable started with 700000 and was updated incrementally with each point release (as in 701000, 702000, etc.). In R8, the number started with an 8. When Notes launches, it automatically updates names.nsf and bookmark.nsf using the local templates that were installed, an increments the number for TemplateSetup to prevent refresh design from running again.
