Upgrading to Domino ODS51
If I upgrade a database to ODS 51 (ODS for Domino 852) but the user is still using a Lotus Notes client version 7, how will they be affected? Can I upgrade the ODS of a datbase if the user is still using an old version 7 client?

Yes you can.
The users won't be affected. The only thing they will notice is in the database properties will be the ods marked as unknown.

Hi there Random_It_Guy,,,
I have some users who were still using Lotus Notes Client of 6.5.6 and it is OK , but, I have upgraded them to LN8.5.2 in order for them to be able to use the features of this version and because LN6.5.X and LN7 are out dated ones and not supported by IBM any more .
Best Wishes

There are features that are transparent to the Notes Client and some are not - 2 examples:
1- DOAS is transparent to Lotus Notes Users, so they aren't affected.
2- xPages for Lotus Notes (not web) will not work because it depends on the new xpage parsing engine.
So if upgrading includes changing design, you must check if the new design uses new features.
You can run a test, (but first keep ntf of old design, backup data, and learn how to downgrade db version -if u aren't going to overwrite with the backup in case new design failed).

You can upgrade your mail database ODS to 51,if and only if your Domino Server version is 8.5 or above..
