NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND SMART UPGRADE

Creating a database link to the Smart Upgrade Database
In the Domino Directory, the Configuration Settings document contains a Smart Upgrade Database Link field in which you paste the database link to the Smart Upgrade database. The IBM® Lotus® Domino™ intelligent locator uses the replica ID of the Smart Upgrade database in the database link and does the following in this order: 1) Looks for a local replica of that database, and if found, uses it. 2) Looks for a replica of that database on any cluster mates if the server is in a cluster, and if found, uses it. 3) Uses the database on the server specified in the database link in the Server Configuration document.

During this procedure, you enable the Smart Upgrade Governor feature that allows you to limit the number of concurrent Smart Upgrade attempts.

1. In the Domino Administrator, open the Smart Upgrade database that you created.

2. Choose Edit - Copy as link - Application link.

3. From the Domino Administrator, click Configuration - Server - Configurations.

4. Select the server, and then click "Edit Configuration" to edit an existing Configuration Settings document.

5. Click the Smart Upgrade tab.


6. On the Smart Upgrade tab of the document, paste the database link in the "Smart Upgrade Database link" field.

7. (Optional) In the field "Limit Concurrent Smart Upgrade," enable the Smart Upgrade Governor. When Smart Upgrade Governor is enabled, you can limit the number of times that Smart Upgrade attempts are made by specifying a value in the field "Maximum Concurrent Downloads."


8. In the field "Maximum Concurrent Downloads," enter a value for the maximum concurrent number of Smart Upgrade attempts that can be made while the Smart Upgrade Governor is enabled.

9. Save and close the Configuration Settings document.

10. With the Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade database set up, you can begin adding update kits to the database.
