IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Installing
Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
Upgrading
Use this documentation to upgrade the existing Domino® server and subsequently upgrade the Notes® client to a new release. You can also upgrade additional clients such as Domino Administrator and Domino Designer clients and additional features and plug-ins such as the embedded IBM® Sametime® client.
Upgrading Notes® clients
You can push an upgrade to Notes® clients using Notes Smart Upgrade or other third party mechanism, Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SURUNAS), or Upgrade-by-mail. You can also upgrade Notes clients using the Notes installation executable either silently (command line) or using the installer's graphical user interface. The supplied installation executable is used for an initial install or an upgrade install.
Using Notes® Smart Upgrade
IBM® Notes® Smart Upgrade is a administrative tool for pushing Notes client upgrades to users. Smart Upgrade notifies users to upgrade their Notes clients by a stated date and simplifies the upgrade process by essentially performing the upgrade the task with little or no user intervention.
Creating a Smart Upgrade application
Use the Smart Upgrade kits template (smupgrade.ntf) to create the Notes® Smart Upgrade application that will store the upgrade kits.

- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
  - Installing and upgrading Domino® servers
    Perform a new or upgrade install of one or many Domino® servers.

You can also upgrade additional clients such as Domino Administrator and Domino Designer clients and additional features and plug-ins such as the embedded IBM® Sametime® client.
    - Upgrading Domino® servers
      Upgrading a Domino® server refers to installing a new release of Domino software.
    - Upgrading Notes® clients
      You can push an upgrade to Notes® clients using Notes Smart Upgrade or other third party mechanism, Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SURUNAS), or Upgrade-by-mail. You can also upgrade Notes clients using the Notes installation executable either silently (command line) or using the installer's graphical user interface. The supplied installation executable is used for an initial install or an upgrade install.
      - Backing up and restoring Notes® client files
        Domino® administrators should periodically back up Notes® applications and files for users.
      - Upgrading from Notes® single user to Notes® multi-user
        While it is not possible to upgrade from a Notes® single user installation to a Notes multi-user installation during an upgrade install, you can use the supplied Notes® single user to multi-user migration assistant tool to migrate an existing single user installation to a multi-user installation within the same release and then run the upgrade install.
      - Using Notes® Smart Upgrade
        IBM® Notes® Smart Upgrade is a administrative tool for pushing Notes client upgrades to users. Smart Upgrade notifies users to upgrade their Notes clients by a stated date and simplifies the upgrade process by essentially performing the upgrade the task with little or no user intervention.
        Understanding the Smart Upgrade timer
        This topic explains the behavior of the Smart Upgrade timer.
        Creating a Smart Upgrade application
        Use the Smart Upgrade kits template (smupgrade.ntf) to create the Notes® Smart Upgrade application that will store the upgrade kits.
        Creating the Smart Upgrade application link and controlling concurrent downloads
        In the Domino® Directory, the Configuration Settings document contains a Smart Upgrade Database Link field in which you paste the link to the Smart Upgrade application.
        Adding upgrade kits to the Smart Upgrade application
        After downloading a Notes® install kit, make the kit available to users by creating a kit document in the Smart Upgrade application and then either attaching the kit to the kit document or storing the kit in a directory on a shared network drive that users can access.
        Creating and using a policy document for Notes® Smart Upgrade
        You can optionally use a desktop policy settings document to enable Notes® Smart Upgrade to function automatically, to deploy different releases of the Notes client to different groups of users, to upgrade Notes clients through several updates at one time, to automatically create and use a Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports application, and to control when updates occur in order to preserve server performance.
        Creating and using a Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports application
        The Smart Upgrade Tracking Reports application stores Smart Upgrade tracking reports that contain status information for all Smart Upgrade attempts in a domain.
        Maintaining Notes® Smart Upgrade
        After you have set up the IBM® Notes® Smart Upgrade application and Smart Upgrade policy, perform the following tasks to maintain Smart Upgrade.
      - Using the Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard
        Use the Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SUSETRUNASWIZARD.EXE) to create an executable file (SURUNAS.EXE) that Notes® client users, running on Microsoft™ Windows™, can run to upgrade their Notes clients. SURUNAS is ideal for pushing Notes client upgrades to users who do not have administrator or elevated privileges.
      - Using Upgrade-by-mail
        Upgrade-by-mail sends an e-mail notification to users instructing them to upgrade their Notes® client and optionally, their mail file template. You can also use Upgrade-by-mail to notify users that their mail files have been migrated to Notes® mail.

Creating a Smart Upgrade application

Use the Smart Upgrade kits template (smupgrade.ntf) to create the Notes® Smart Upgrade application that will store the upgrade kits.

About this task

The application must reside on at least one server in the domain. After the Smart Upgrade application is added to the application catalog, other servers can locate the application.

If you replicate the Smart Upgrade application to other servers in the domain, users will have more choices in the application catalog and more network access to the upgrade kits.

Procedure

In the Domino® Administrator client, choose File > Application > New.
In the New Application dialog box, enter the server name and application title. For example, you could specify Smart Upgrade App as the application title.
Enter a file name in the File Name field.
Click Template Server and select the server on which the application will reside.
Enable the Show advanced templates option.
Select the Smart Upgrade kits template name and click OK.
After you create the Smart Upgrade application, create an application link in the Configuration Settings document in the server's Domino® Directory application.
