Upgrading the IBM Notes client after installing IBM Connection plug-ins for IBM Notes

If we installed the Connections plug-ins for IBM Notes and we are updating the IBM Notes client to 9.0, make sure that IBM Connections is selected on the Notes installation panel when we upgrade.

While you upgrading the existing Notes client to IBM Notes 9.0, make sure that IBM Connections is checked on the Notes installation panel. Otherwise, you do not get the sidebar applications for Activities, Files, and Status Updates. The sidebar applications depend on the Connections Business Card plug-in. For example, if you have IBM Connections plug-ins for IBM Notes installed with Notes 8.5.3, then you upgrade the Notes 8.5.3 client to IBM Notes 9.0, select IBM Connections as an installation option. If we do not select IBM Connections, the Activities and Status Updates sidebar applications will not display after you upgrade the client.

1. Make sure the IBM Notes client is closed before you begin the upgrade.

2. Start the IBM Notes 9.0 installer.

3. Select IBM Connections on the Custom Setup panel.

4. Click Finish.
