Sametime 7.5 and migrating privacy data utility required


Tags :


Upon reading the Release Notes for the current build of Sametime 7.5,  I came across a good thing to know for all administrators that have current Sametime environments.  If anyone has utilized the function of "Who can see me" in their previous Connect client, there is a utility that must be run after upgrading to covert these over to the new Privacy functions.  If not, they won't function the same.  They added some new capabilities and you can see that in how they note in the Connect client preferences that certain things are for 7.5 servers and users only.

There was a technote references under #1242317 for "Migrating privacy data after upgrading to Sametime 7.5."  Unfortunately this is being held.

I found the UpgradeBLUtil.jar on the server but I am not sure what flags or whatever to run so I am holding off testing it for now.  Let me see if I can get some info.
