UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 7 AND LOTUS DOMINO 7
At first server startup, Domino creates a mail-in database named Lotus Notes/Domino Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports database (LNDSUTR.NSF) using the database template LNDSUTR.NTF. Domino also creates the corresponding mail-in database document for the Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports database. Notes automatically creates Smart Upgrade Tracking reports each time Smart Upgrade runs on a client in your domain. Reports of successfull upgrades are sent to the Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports database the first time the Notes client is started after the successful upgrade. Reports of unsuccessful upgrades are sent immediately after the upgrade fails or cancels.
If you prefer, you can manually set up the Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports database by using LNDSUTR.NTF, and you then create the corresponding mail-in database document.
Enable Smart Upgrade Tracking on the desktop policy settings document's Smart Upgrade tab. The Notes client then uses the information that you enter there to mail a Smart Upgrade Tracking Report each time Smart Upgrade is run on Notes clients in your domain. Reports are saved in the Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports database for the length of time specified in the "Number of days to keep Smart Upgrade Tracking Report files" field in the desktop policy settings document when the setting "Remove Smart Upgrade Tracking files after a specified number of days" is enabled.
Use the Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports database to determine whether the Notes clients are upgrading successfully when using Smart Upgrade, or to determine which users are experiencing problems. If there are instances where Smart Upgrade fails, use the information in the report to assist in determining the problem without having to visit the user's desktop. You can also use the reports to determine whether there is a repeating problem on multiple clients which could be related to the configuration of the Smart Upgrade database containing the kit information.
You can view reported information by Status, that is, sorted according to whether the Smart Upgrade succeeded, failed, or was canceled. You can also view reports by date, by Notes/Domino version, by operating system version, or by user.
For information about the desktop policy settings document, see the topic Creating a desktop policy settings document.
