UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6

Lotus Notes 6 mail files and mixed-release environments
If you have a mail file on a Domino 6 server with a Notes 6 template and a replica of that file on a Domino 4.6 or Domino 5 server that uses a template from an earlier release, you must ensure that the designs of the mail files do not replicate. A mail file with a Notes 6 design on a Domino 4.6 or Domino 5 server does not work properly, and you want to ensure that the older Notes 4.6 design does not overwrite the Notes 6 design on the Domino 6 server. To prevent the mail templates of the two replicas from replicating, do the following for each mail file:

1. Open the mail file replica.

2. Choose File - Replication - Settings.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

4. Under "Replicate incoming," clear the "Forms, views, etc." and "Agents" check boxes.

5. Click OK.

6. Repeat Steps 1 to 5 for each replica.

Note This procedure does not work for clustered servers and databases -- cluster replication ignores selective replication.
