Migration Lotus Domino 6.5.1 to Lotus Domino 8.5 Concept
- before you start doing any thing make sure that all the important data in the production Domino servers are backed up and safe
- make sure that all the files with the extension ( .nsf) like names.nsf , (.id) like server.id and a file called ( notes.ini) are safe and backed up
- follow the following procedure
Considerations for mail servers (Upgrade Action Plan)
For many organizations, e-mail is considered a mission-critical application. For this reason, special attention should be given to the evaluation of your mail infrastructure.

Here are a few things you can do to make the Notes client startup faster:
- Minimize the number of databases on your Welcome Page (if you’re using a Welcome Page)
- Disable “Check Subscriptions” and “Scan for Unread” startup options in User Preferences
- Disable “Replicate When Notes Starts” on Location document
Use Network Compression
If both your client and your server are running ND6 or higher, you can enable network compression to speed up communications. Note that this has to be enabled on both the client and the server.

It’s easy to develop simple applications in Lotus Notes and, if you have a few users and not too many documents, you’re unlikely to have performance issues. However, if your application is successful, you may accumulate lots of users and lots of data. If you haven’t designed it with performance in mind, your application will slow to a crawl.
This white paper discusses the main factors affecting Notes/Domino application performance and explains what you, as a developer, can do to maximize performance. This is not an exhaustive guide; rather, we focus on the design problems that are most common and most serious.

1. What are the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino requirements?
BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino requires that Lotus Domino TM Server and Client 4.6 or higher are installed (where the Lotus Domino server is in the LocalDomainServers group). Windows NT 4.0 server, Service Pack 3 or higher must be installed on the server.
2. Does BlackBerry Enterprise Server support Domino Cluster?
Yes, it does support cluster members. If a user’s mail file is located on a server that is a member of a Lotus Domino cluster, BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino will behave normally, connecting to the replica of the mail file as specified in the person document in the Domino Directory. BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino does not, at this time, support automatic failover to another cluster member in this configuration. If the primary mail server goes down, our application will skip this user for the duration of the outage, and pick up where it left off when the server comes back online.
Note: Â Â Â Clustering of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Lotus Domino machine itself is not supported.

We were testing out an Lotus Notes application and wondering why the Responses property for any document object was returning a collection of no documents. After trying a few things and searching for several different combination on the Notes Net forum, we finally found this document: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/46dom.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/bc40ce0ae4368fd58525688c0023eafc?OpenDocument.

Agent logging is a great feature that’s been around in Notes ever since LotusScript has been around (starting in Lotus Notes R4). But it’s something not everyone takes advantage of. One of the reasons (IMHO) for this is because way too much information is logged every time the agent runs, causing an overload of information to be written to your Lotus Notes agent log, that you don’t look at anyway. Logging is one of those things that you wish you had in there, but only when you need it. This tip talks about implementing what I call “conditional logging” for your scheduled agents.

The new formula is @UpdateFormulaContext in Lotus Notes, and all it does, in lay terms, is switch where the code is running. For example, if you compose a document, normally the code would continue to run where you were before the document was composed. But using the new @-function tells the Lotus Notes 6 client that the code should now run in the composed document.

Replication/Save conflicts document are a necessary in a distributed environment like Lotus Notes. A developer can do all he/she can to minimize conflicts through things like setting the form properties to merge conflicts if possible and using document locking in Notes 6. But maybe document locking is something that can’t be implemented, because your users aren’t on Notes 6 yet or because the application is really distributed (users with local replicas and no network access can edit existing documents). In that case, you’re bound to have conflicts and will need to deal with them.
