Check to make sure the database property allowing Document locking didn't get un-set during your upgrade  - its on the bottom of the first tab of database properties

Database property
Hi Susan,

Thank you for your response, but  I did it already. As I said, the configuration was checked, and the database was already compacted, fixup, updall, with all switches we can think.
I even have replicated to another server, then removed from the original, and created a fresh new replica, checked configuration, and the problem still exists.
I have now a PMR open, and we are now on the second level, no solution so far.

Regards,

Daniel

Don't need document locking enabled
If you only have 1 replica on 1 server, IBM recommend you disable document locking in the application properties. By default, Domino provides soft locking which prevents 2 users from editing the same document at the same time from the same replica. Only way I know around this is to use EDIT_NO_SOFT_LOCKS=1 in Notes. Now, conflicts can still occur is certain situations even with the default soft locking. If 2 people open the same document at the same time, one edits it and saves and closes, then the other edits it (has old version of the doc open, not updated version), a conflict occurs. One way around this is to set the document to open up to edit mode so it automatically is locked when anyone opens it. Of course, then 2 people cannot read the same doc at the same time.
