Upgrading Lotus Quickr connectors to Version 8.2.0.132 (HF#14)

Upgrade Instructions

Last revision: June 19, 2009

Use these instructions to update the level of the Lotus Quickr Connectors that reside on a Lotus Quickr 8.1 services for Lotus Domino server. Once the updated connectors are installed on the server, users can download and install them on their client workstations.

Server Side Installation and Configuration:

Windows/AIX servers:

1.Issue a "tell http quit" command from the Domino server console.

2.In the server's data directory, rename and replace:

\Data\domino\html\qkrconn.exe

\Data\domino\html\buildinfo.txt

with the files from the fixpack. New requests will download these files.

3.Issue a "load http" command from the Domino server console.

i5/OS servers:

  1. For each Lotus Quickr server on the system, issue a "tell http quit" command from the Domino server console.
  2. Run the following i5/OS commands to rename the currentconnector files in the Lotus Quickr product directory:

RNM OBJ('/qibm/proddata/lotus/quickplace/data/domino/html/qkrconn.exe') NEWOBJ(qkrconn.bkp)

RNM OBJ('/qibm/proddata/lotus/quickplace/data/domino/html/buildinfo.txt’) NEWOBJ(buildinfo.bkp)

  1. Transfer the updatedconnector files included in this fixpack to the Lotus Quickr product directory.

For example:

  1. cd xxxx [change to the directory on your workstation where you unzipped the updated connector files]
  2. ftp [your system name or IP address]
  3. bin
  4. put qkrconn.exe /QIBM/PRODDATA/LOTUS/QUICKPLACE/Data/domino/html/qkrconn.exe
  5. put buildinfo.txt /QIBM/PRODDATA/LOTUS/QUICKPLACE/Data/domino/html/buildinfo.txt
  6. quit
  1. Run the following i5/OS commands to change the owner of the copied files:

CHGOWN OBJ('/qibm/proddata/lotus/quickplace/data/domino/html/qkrconn.exe’) NEWOWN(QNOTES)

CHGOWN OBJ('/qibm/proddata/lotus/quickplace/data/domino/html/buildinfo.txt') NEWOWN(QNOTES)

  1. When you configure a new Quickr server, the updated connectors are automatically copied to the new server. However, you need to copy the updated connectors to each existing Lotus Quickr server on the system by running the following commands for each server:

CPY OBJ('/qibm/proddata/lotus/quickplace/data/domino/html/qkrconn.exe') TODIR('<server_data_dir>/domino/html') REPLACE(*YES)

CPY OBJ('/qibm/proddata/lotus/quickplace/data/domino/html/buildinfo.txt') TODIR('<server_data_dir>/domino/html') REPLACE(*YES)

  1. For each Lotus Quickr server on the system, issue a "load http" command from the Domino server.

Additional Steps For Server Deployments Integrated with Siteminder:

  1. If not already at Webagent V6QMR5-CR004 or higher, upgrade to the latest Webagent release.
  2. Add

DominoNormalizeUrls=no

to the Agent Conf Object on the Policy Server or in WebAgent.conf if local configuration is allowed.

  1. Issue a "restart task http" command from the Domino server console to restart HTTP on the Domino Server

Client Side Installation:

1.Access Quickr server home URL

2.Click the Lotus Quickr Connectors graphic to run/download qkrconn.exe.

3.Launch qkrconn.exe and install (restart system if prompted).

4. (optional) Verify the upgrade worked properly by viewing the file C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus Quickr connectors\buildinfo.txt. Contents should match the following:
