IBM Lotus Notes, Domino, Domino Designer 8 Release Notes
Domino Server
Upgrade to Domino 8 sets 1K console logging limit
Upgrading the Domino server to Domino 8 sets the console logging limit to 1K. The new default setting of
1K was introduced to improve product serviceability. Console logging is enabled with a 1K limit without
user intervention or notification. This will not occur if you already have an entry in the NOTES.INI file to
enable, disable or change the console logging size.
To change the default console logging limit to a value other than 1K, use one of the commands listed
below:
z
Use one of these Notes.ini settings
console_log_enabled=n
console_log_max_kbytes=desired size
For information about the Notes.ini settings, see the topic "NOTES.INI Settings" in the Domino 8
Administrator Help documentation.
z
After stopping the console log, issue this server command
start consolelog
Domino Server
Upgrading a DB2-enabled Domino server
If you have enabled your Domino servers to communicate with DB2, and you have DB2 enabled Notes
databases, you cannot upgrade directly from Domino 7.x to Domino 8. You must first convert your DB2
enabled Notes databases to Notes NSF databases. If you do not convert your databases, you will be
unable to access your data. Complete these steps:
1.
Create NSF database replicas of the DB2-enabled Notes databases. Use the Create Replica tool in
the Domino Administrator. Be sure to create the replica on a Domino server configured with NSF as
the default datastore.
2.
Disable the Domino 7.x server.
3.
Upgrade to Domino 8.
4.
Run the server enablement tool to allow the Domino and DB2 server to communicate.
5.
Convert the NSF database replicas back to DB2-enabled Notes databases.
After a DB2-enabled Domino server has been upgraded from 7.x to 8.0, it cannot be downgraded back to
a 7.x version.
When upgrading a DB2-enabled Domino server from 7.x to 8.0, DB2 Universal Database must be
upgraded to version 9.1.0.
Mixed Domino and DB2 versions are not supported, for example, Domino 7.x and DB2 9.1.0 are not
supported together. Domino 8.0 and DB2 8.2.2 are not supported together.
Lotus Notes
Upgrading to the current Notes 8 Beta
When you upgrade from one Lotus Notes 8 Beta version to the next, you must uninstall the old Beta
before installing the new Beta. See the uninstall and install sections of these release notes for details.
If you are upgrading from a Lotus Notes version 6.5.x or 7.x on a Windows client, see the installation
section of these release notes for details on how to upgrade to Lotus Notes 8 Beta using the installation
program.
