NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND SMART UPGRADE

Creating a Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database
Use the Smart Upgrade Kits template (SMUPGRADE.NTF) to create the IBM® 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 Smart Upgrade database is added to the database catalog, other servers can locate the database. If you replicate the 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.

1. In the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator client, choose File - Application - New.

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

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

4. Click Template Server, and 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 Smart Upgrade database, create a database link in your Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
