Installation Notes

You can obtain the 8.5.3 UP2 IF7 upgrade package from Fix Central. The interim fix requires that Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 1 or Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 2 already be installed. If setting up a new environment or migrating from an older release first download and install Notes Traveler 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 2 from Passport Advantage.

Important for stand alone setups
When upgrading to 8.5.3 UP2 IF7 the defrag function may run automatically during the first start of the Lotus Traveler server. This will happen any time the database schema is updated as a result of the upgrade. The server will start normally once the defragmentation is completed. Depending on database size and system capabilities, the defragmentation may take longer than 30 minutes. Please plan this time into any scheduled maintenance window for upgrade. It is recommended to manually run the database defrag approximately once a month for enhanced performance in a standalone system. Consult your DB administrator for recommended maintenance if using an Enterprise DB.

Please review the 8.5.3 Upgrade Pack 2 Product Documentation links below prior to installation.
