UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 7 AND LOTUS DOMINO 7

Creating a Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database
Use the Smart Upgrade Kits template (SMUPGRADE.NTF) to create the Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database that will store the upgrade kits. The database must reside on at least one server in the domain. After the Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database is added to the database catalog, other servers can locate the database. If you replicate the Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database to other servers in the domain, users will have more choices in the database catalog and possibly fewer network problems accessing the update kits.

Note The Smart Upgrade Kits are available in global English only. In a non-English environment, the Notes Client Web Kit can be substituted for the Smart Upgrade Kit.

1. In the Domino Administrator client, choose File - Database - New.

2. In the New Database dialog box, enter the server name and database title.

3. Enter a file name in the File Name field.

4. Click Template Server, then choose the server on which the database will reside.

5. Select the "Show advanced templates" check box.

6. Select "Smart Upgrade Kits" from the box of template names, then click OK.

7. After you create the Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database, create a database link in your Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
