Creating a Version Path document to upload a new Notes install file to AUT servers
To prepare to deploy a new version of Notes on AUT servers, create a Version Path document to define and upload the install executable file for the new version into the AUT Catalog. You also define in the document which version or versions of Notes can be upgraded to the new version.
Before you begin
- Download the web kit that contains the install file executable for the new version from the IBM download site and save it to a local file location. The new version can be any kind of update such as a full product release, a feature pack release, or a hot fix.
- Have handy the AUT install manifest .xml file provided with the download. You will use it to
import information about the install file or files into the Version Path document.Important: To upgrade to a Notes 10.0.1 Fix Pack release, you must go to Where to download XML Manifest File for Domino AUT Catalog to push out Notes client upgrades for 10.0.1 Fix Packs to get the install manifest for the release. This article will also be available soon through the HCL Customer Support site.
