NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE

Creating a link to the Smart Upgrade database
In the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory, the Configuration Settings document contains a Smart Upgrade Database Link field in which you paste the link to the Smart Upgrade application. The Domino intelligent locator uses the replica ID of the Smart Upgrade application in the link and does the following in this order: 1) Looks for a local replica, and if found, uses it. 2) Looks for a replica on any cluster mates if the server is in a cluster, and if found, uses it. 3) Uses the application on the server specified in the link in the Server Configuration document.

During this procedure, you enable the Smart Upgrade Governor feature that allows you to limit the number of concurrent Smart Upgrade attempts.

1. In the Domino Administrator, open the Smart Upgrade application that you created.

2. Choose Edit - Copy as link - Application link.

3. From the Domino Administrator, click Configuration - Server - Configurations.

4. Select the server, and then click "Edit Configuration" to edit an existing Configuration Settings document.

5. Click the Smart Upgrade tab.


6. On the Smart Upgrade tab of the document, paste the link in the "Smart Upgrade Database link" field.

7. (Optional) In the field "Limit Concurrent Smart Upgrade," enable the Smart Upgrade Governor. When Smart Upgrade Governor is enabled, you can limit the number of times that Smart Upgrade attempts are made by specifying a value in the field "Maximum Concurrent Downloads."


8. In the field "Maximum Concurrent Downloads," enter a value for the maximum concurrent number of Smart Upgrade attempts that can be made while the Smart Upgrade Governor is enabled.

9. Save and close the Configuration Settings document.

10. You can now begin adding update kits to the Smart Upgrade application.
