Information about Lotus Domino 6.5.4 Fix Pack 3
Lotus Domino 6.5.4 Fix Pack 3 Is Available

Prerequisites
  • IBM Product 5733L65 V6R5M4 - Domino 6.5.4, Domino 6.5.4 FP1, or Domino 6.5.4 FP2 for iSeries.
  • Domino for i5/OS 6.5.4 FP3 may be installed on:
    • Global English
    • Global English + Language Pack
      Important Note for Language pack users:
      If you plan to use a 6.5.4 Language Pack, the Domino 6.5.4 for iSeries language packs must be installed prior to installing a Domino 6.5.4 Fix Pack.

Who should install Domino 6.5.4 FP3
Administrators need to take into account several things when deciding to install a Fix Pack:
  • See what fixes are included in each Fix Pack
    Check the fix listing available for each Fix Pack at the Lotus developerWorks Web site.
  • Assess previously-applied hotfixes
    Many customers have applied one, or several, hotfixes to a particular release of Lotus Notes/Domino. In order to apply the latest Fix Pack, previously-applied hotfixes must be uninstalled prior to installing the Fix Pack. Fix Packs may, or may not, include fixes that were previously made available as hotfixes. Assessing the relative importance of applied hotfixes versus applying a new Fix Pack is a decision made by each Administrator. Review "Access previous-applied hotfixes" step for instruction on how to compare hotfixes on your system to fixes included in fix pack.
  • Consider later Maintenance Releases, if available.
    Generally, Maintenance Releases include fixes introduced both in prior Maintenance Releases, and in earlier Fix Packs. Customers will want to regularly upgrade with each Maintenance Release, as Maintenance Releases contain fixes and enhancements to the product not included in the Fix Packs. It's always best to stay current with the latest Maintenance Releases in order to take advantage of the most recently introduced fixes and features to ensure proper leverage of the latest Fix Packs.
Assess previously-applied hotfixes
  1. Determine whether any hot fixes are currently installed on your system for 6.5.4.
    Use the OS/400 CL command:
    DSPPTF LICPGM(5733L65) RLS(V6R5M4)
    The following PTFs are for previous 6.5.4 fixpacks and do not need to be removed prior to installing 654 FP3:
    • 6.5.4 FP1 PTF SI18786
    • 6.5.4 FP2 PTF SI20418
  2. Determine if 6.5.4 hot fixes are included in 6.5.4 FP3.
    The following iSeries hot fixes (PTFs) are included in 6.5.4 FP3.
    • PTF SE19941 - SPR ESAO62PMKP: A NULL value can be potentially returned when calling GetContentItemValue, leading to a crash.
    • PTF SE19957 - SPR RBRE6B7NWR: Running MAPS on server causes customers server to panic with PANIC: LookupHandle: handle not allocated.
    • PTF SE20058 - SPR HLEZ65HMWM: Prior to this fix, database corruption in the Hash Table caused a Server Crash when fixup was run.
    • PTF SE20333 - SPR TPOK6CKQW4: This fix prevents an intermittent server crash during HTTP refresh.
    • PTF SE23038 - SPR RBRE6J7RYE: Implement SDK routine NSFNoteExtractWithCallback.
    • PTF SE23716 - SPR JPAI6EFMP6: Fix a panic when SetBufferState called Halt
    • PTF LD00005 - SPR CCAY64CR5S: Fixed an intermittent "Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time; please retry." error case.
    • PTF LD00011 - SPR ASCR68ZRZ6: When the Administration Process checks disk space for a new replica, it might match the wrong physical directory statistics and thus the wrong disk when deciding which disk a new replica should reside on.
    • PTF LD00040 - SPR JPAS6ALJQE: Fixed a problem where the NIF pool ran out of memory after the NIF Global Pool grew to approach 128 megs.
    • PTF LD00047 - SPR JPAI6ARFE5 - Prevents the Domino Update task from crashing when processing a document in the Domino directory whose FullName value is greater than 256 characters.
    • PTF LD00052 - SPR CSAH5YYHYZ Error message that was claiming the replication only partially completed due to an error. The only error that is happening here is that we display the first error message.
    • PTF QLD00071 - SPR KYOE6B9929 - Mail in trash folder is gone when reopening a mail DB created on 6.5.3FP1.
    • PTF LD00079 - SPR MKIN693QUT: Fixed a memory leak in the stash file during SSL handshake.
    • PTF LD00099 - SPR MLEE6CPKCM Server information data is much larger than a single network buffer. Message will be displayed in the server console PANIC: List Entry count in TEXT_LIST is invalid.
    • PTF LD00100 - SPR MIAS6DMJUC "OSBBlockAddr: Bad BBlock handle (FFFFFFFF)" caused by cluster replication.
    • PTF LD00119 - SPR MALR6948NQ -problem which causes a deadlock to occur in the buffer management component.
    • PTF LD00211 - SPR LVAE6GLLN9 Fix panic caused when routine MoveOneObject detects an object type that is unknown

    Additional fixes are included in 6.5.4 FP3, see Lotus developerWorks for complete list.
  3. Fix Packs may or may not include fixes that were previously made available as hotfixes.
    If you have hot fixes (PTFs) that are not in 6.5.4 FP3, the Domino Administrator must assess the relative importance of applied hotfixes versus applying a new Fix Pack. Hot Fixes for 6.5.4, 6.5.4 FP1 or 6.5.4 FP2 may not be applied to 6.5.4 FP3.

    If 6.5.4 FP3 is needed and current hot fixes are also required, you should contact Lotus support prior to installing 6.5.4 FP3 to have a PMR created to request a new hotfix that can be applied on 6.5.4 FP3.

    When it is time to install 6.5.4 FP3, proceed with "Install 6.5.4 FP3".
Install 6.5.4 FP3
  1. Remove any 6.5.4 hot fixes:
    Domino 6.5.4 FP3 can only be installed on systems running Domino for i5/OS 6.5.4 (Product 5733L65 option 14), 6.5.4 FP1 or 6.5.4 FP2. You may use the DSPSFWRSC command to verify Domino for i5/OS 6.5.4 is installed.

    If you have applied any Domino for i5/OS 6.5.4 hot fixes, they must be removed before applying this 6.5.4 FP3 PTF. Hot fixes must be removed in a specific order. The hot fixes should be removed in reverse order of install order. Example - the last hot fix installed, must be removed first.

    Remember to end all Domino servers prior to removing any hot fix PTFs.

    To determine whether any hot fixes are currently installed on your system for 6.5.4, use the OS/400 CL command:
    DSPPTF LICPGM(5733L65) RLS(V6R5M4)

    To determine the order that the PTFs were installed, do the following for each PTF listed:
    For each PTF listed:

    1. choose option 5=Display PTF details
    2. then, option 1. General information
    3. On the "General Information" screen, the "Optional part" equals "0014" for 6.5.4 SPRs.
    4. Write down the PTF number and Status date/time.

    If any 6.5.4 hot fixes are installed, you must remove each hot fix from the system before applying the 6.5.4 FP3 PTF. Using the Status date/time from previous step, remove PTFs starting with the most recent PTF installed towards the first PTF installed for the 6.5.4 release.

    PTF SI18786 (6.5.4 FP1) and SI20418 (6.5.4 FP2) do not need to be removed.

    Use the command:
    RMVPTF LICPGM(5733L65) SELECT(ptf-number) RMV(*PERM)

  2. Install 6.5.4 FP3
    1. Download the file C88RSNA.EXE to a PC and extract the contents. The file is available from Lotus Domino 6.5.4 Fix Pack 3 Is Available.
    2. Create a save file on the iSeries server.
      Note: You must have an OS/400 user profile in order to transfer the file to the iSeries server. See your system administrator if you cannot proceed with this step.
      Sign on to the iSeries server with a profile that has command line capabilities and user class of *SECOFR. Use the following command to create a SAVF:
      CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/QSI21914)
    3. Transfer the binary save file from the PC to the iSeries server.
      NOTE: These instructions assume the binary save file was extracted to the root directory of the PC's C:\ drive. You may need to adjust the instructions depending on the actual location of the file.
      On the PC, enter the following commands and responses, when prompted:
      ftp [your OS/400 system name or IP address]
      Name:[Enter your OS/400 user profile name and press enter]
      Password:[Enter your OS/400 password and press enter]
      ftp>binary
      Representation type is binary IMAGE.
      ftp>put [C]:\SI21914 QGPL/QSI21914
      ftp>quit
    4. End any active Domino Servers.
      To end any active Domino servers, enter the following command:
      WRKDOMSVR
      Use option 6 (End Domino server) on this display to end all active Domino servers. Wait until all servers are ended.
    5. Load and Apply the 6.5.4 FP3 PTF
      Enter the following commands to load and apply the PTF:
      LODPTF LICPGM(5733L65) DEV(*SAVF) SELECT(SI21914) SAVF(QGPL/QSI21914)
      APYPTF LICPGM(5733L65) SELECT(SI21914)
    6. Install any new hot fixes received from Lotus support for 6.5.4 FP3
    7. Restart Domino servers.
