Lotus Notes, Domino Server
Personal Address Book needs new design upgrade
If you are upgrading to Notes/Domino 8 from a previous version, you must replace the design of your
Personal Address Book with the Domino 8 pernames.ntf template. This allows a Notes/Domino 8 user
to take full advantage of new features in this area, notably "Edit Locations".
Domino Server
Rebuild system views in the Domino Directory after upgrading
There are several views in the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) which use the Unicode standard
collation, and which must be rebuilt immediately after upgrading to Domino 8. The IBM Lotus Domino
server knows the collation versions, and automatically rebuilds the view indexes when the server needs to
use them.
When the Domino server starts, it needs to access two important views, $Users and $ServerAccess. The
server stops and waits for these views to rebuild. If the Domino Directory is a large file, rebuilding the two
views requires a substantial amount of time. After upgrading to Domino 8, during the first server restart
the server may stop while waiting for the views to rebuild. During this time, the server console will display
initial information regarding the Domino server.
This process has been tested using a Domino Directory containing 17,000 users. Rebuilding (reindexing)
the views required approximately 40 minutes during the initial server restart after upgrade. This test was
performed on the platforms listed below. Note that the time requirements varied slightly by platform.

If you upgrade to Domino 8 and your Domino Directory contains 10,000 users or more, plan ahead for
view updating. You can use the UPDALL program to update the index offline, and then place it on the
server. On Microsoft Windows platforms, enter this command
nupdall -r names.nsf
For more information about using the UPDALL program, see the Domino Administrator 8 documentation.
