Define design upgrade for databases

As an administrator I had to realize during the TOTP configuration that the IDVault database has not received any template updates since its creation (9.0.1).

From the support I got the answer ".. that we have to upgrade manually the design of IDVault during migration/upgrade. It works as design."

There is a notes.ini setting SERVER_UPGRADE_NO_DIRECTORY_UPGRADE_PROMPT to upgrade the directory automatically after an server upgrade, but not for other databases.

Therefore I would like to have such control for other (system) databases, too.

Maybe this could be managed in a database like Thomas mentioned in his comment in my other idea Add parameter to get list of mail databases by template name, too.


-- update ---

Yesterday I upgraded a Domino server from V12.0.1 FP1 to V12.0.2 FP1 and had to realize that the following system databases haven't received a design refresh automatically during the server restart after the upgrade:

  • idpcat.nsf

  • certstore.nsf

  • IDvault.nsf

Please have this in mind for future enhancements in the product. Thank you.
