Downgrading from Domino 7

by Volker Weber

I saved myself a download-install-remove cycle. A number of others didn't. First Bruce, then Joe, now Tony. Too many crashes.

I'm researching the NSD files that are produced by my site which I'm keeping on ND7 for the moment ( so if you click on the link to my site and get nothing then you know it's crashed again )

I have a sneeky feeling it might be a java agent that is causing the problems as the java version in Beta 1 has been updated and it's the biggest change that I can think of.

I wonder why IBM published the beta with that amount of problems. When these guys are rolling back after two days yet, IBM must have been aware of those crashes.

And there's absolutely no sense in publishing a beta, when two days later everybody stops looking into it and starts to wait for M2.

There's plenty of reason. Many people try betas to see features in action. I'm not sure why people would put it into action at this stage, which is what all of these people seem to have done, but that doesn't stop it from being useful to see the beta.

I think it is not that you put it into actions (i never would at that point Ben). All of us "freaks" run a domino server at home (i do rund actually more than one to play arround) but all of us do have professional lives and i think that goes for me at least i want to be prepared of things comming. I remember the first nd6 beta to be much more feature complete and stable. I tried the db2 support in nd7 b1 and every time the server stops, i might want to wait for the linux version mayby it is just stupid w2k server that causes the problem....
so lots of work to do fore the guys at cambridge.

cheers
joe :-)

I put it into action on my server since it's a test box/domain anyways. I know I can roll back Domino easy, so why not! Of course, I would never put this on a production box in beta! The fun is just beginning!

just add a cluster member and play around with db2 - this is triffic - to see that all replicas which are new created are now in DB2 - especially for this reason it is really good to have and beta M1 code. I would never do that in production or for a webserver - makes no sense as we can see.

ND7 for linux wasn't that good for my testbed sandbox system. downgraded back to ND6 and still suffering from problems.
