Upgrading the IBM Notes client after installing IBM Connection plug-ins for IBM Notes

If you installed the IBM Connections plug-ins for IBM Notes and you are updating your IBM Notes client to 9.0, make sure that IBM Connections is selected on the Notes installation panel when you upgrade.

About this task

While you upgrading the existing Notes client to IBM Notes 9.0, make sure that IBM Connections is checked on the Notes installation panel. Otherwise, you do not get the sidebar applications for Activities, Files, and Status Updates. The sidebar applications depend on the IBM Connections Business Card plug-in. For example, if you have IBM Connections plug-ins for IBM Notes installed with Notes 8.5.3, then you upgrade the Notes 8.5.3 client to IBM Notes 9.0, select IBM Connections as an installation option. If you do not select IBM Connections, the Activities and Status Updates sidebar applications will not display after you upgrade the client.

Procedure

  1. Make sure that your IBM Notes client is closed before you begin the upgrade.
  2. Start the IBM Notes 9.0 installer.
  3. Select IBM Connections on the Custom Setup panel.
  4. Click Finish.
