Whoa - ODS 48 broke some items on the convert up


Tags :


Last week at the Notes Domino 8 Upgrade Seminar in London (recap here), we had an attendee report that some items broke on the upgrade in ODS.  I simply stated that in all our testing, we had not seen any incident yet.  Well he was doing something we never tried.  I didn't post this until I could play around and test

They were converting desktops up to Notes 8.0.1 and running the convert locally after placing the proper notes.ini line in to allow the R8 databases

Create_R8_Databases=1

I know I had done this on many servers, and even a bunch of test and now production clients.  Well here is where he threw the monkey wrench in.  His users still have some of their personal databases on ODS 20.  Yeah, 20.  When doing items like the personal NAB, it seemed some policies broke and on local mailfiles, they had issues with the out of office.

I just ran it here one, after much effort to get back to 20 and I'll be darned.  Boom.

UPDATE: apparently this is affecting Quickr per this blogger, but I have to test this..
