Upgrading to a new Domino Directory template

When a new version of the Domino® Directory template (pubnames.ntf) becomes available, make sure to use it so that you can take advantage of new Domino features. Complete this procedure to preserve customization when you upgrade your customized Domino Directory template to a new version of the template.

About this task

These steps use RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF as the file name for the copy of the Domino Directory template. Where RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF appears, substitute the file name of the copy of the Domino Directory template you created.

Procedure

1. For each visible view in RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF that came with the Domino Directory and that you customized, from Domino Designer, choose File -> Document Properties, click the Design tab and deselect Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify. Deselecting the option ensures that the views receive all design changes from the new version of the Domino Directory template.

2. Repeat the previous step for each form that came with the Domino Directory and in which you hid sections.

3. Open RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF, choose File -> Application -> Refresh design, select a server that has a new version of the default Domino Directory template (pubnames.ntf), and click OK.

4. If you created subforms to customize forms, re-insert the subforms into the appropriate forms in RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF.

Note:

If you customized built-in subforms for Person, Group, or Server\Certifier forms, you do not need to complete this step.

5. To hide a section of one of the forms that comes with the Domino Directory, do the following in RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF:

Select the section in the form, choose

- click the

tab, select hide options, and then save the form. LDAP ignores any hide selections.

b. Choose File -> Document Properties, click the Design tab, and then select Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify.

6. For each view in RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF supplied with the Domino Directory and that you customized, choose File -> Document Properties, click the Design tab, and then select Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify.

7. If you previously customized a supplied view in RENOVATIONSNAMES.NTF do one of the following to restore the customizations:

If you made changes directly to the view, re-create the changes.
If you made changes to a copy of the view, open the original view, choose Design -> View Properties, click the i tab, deselect Show in View menu, then save the original view. Then, select the original view, choose File -> Document Properties, click the Design tab, and choose Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify.
