Updating databases
Update Lotus Connections release 2.0.1 databases to release 2.5 in an existing database environment. You can choose from two updating strategies:
- In-place
- Update the databases on the same system as the earlier release. This strategy saves time and hardware resources.
- Side-by-side
- On a separate system, create new 2.0.1 databases. Transfer your existing 2.0.1 databases and then update the new databases to release 2.5. This strategy requires more time and resources but is a good way to trial the update while you continue to use your 2.0.1 production databases.
Perform the tasks that apply to your deployment configuration:
- Updating databases in-place
Update your Lotus Connections 2.0.1 databases to release 2.5, using an in-place update procedure.- Updating databases side-by-side
Update your Lotus Connections 2.0.1 databases to release 2.5 in a side-by-side procedure where your Lotus Connections 2.0.1 deployment remains intact.- Restore databases
Restore your databases if you need to roll back a failed update.
