Re: LEI 6.5.4 upgrade

["Michael Naughton" <michael_naughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chad,

We upgraded from 5.08 to 6.5.4 last June, including LEI. I was (am) still
pretty new to Domino, so I didn't know what to expect, but as I recall
things went fairly smoothly. Our biggest problems were that we were doing
a full version upgrade (some of the system database templates had changed)
and our server certificates had been generated on a server that no longer
existed (don't ask! ;-).  We also were missing some PTFs on our AS/400,
and in the middle of the whole thing the A/C failed in the computer room
and we had to shut everythng down for five hours until it was fixed. 

>From that experience, I'd say: a) be sure you have all the PTFs loaded
that you need, and b) if you have IBM support, use it. I dealt with two
separate people, both of whom were excellent -- they knew their stuff,
they walked me through the steps, and they explained what was going on. In
fact, I'd recommend calling them ahead of time and asking them this same
question.

Good luck!
