LO77981: UPGRADING FROM NOTES MULTIUSER 8.5.3 TO 9.0.1 CREATES AN ADDITIONAL DATA DIRECTORY IN THE USERS PROFILE.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Install Notes 8.5.3 multiuser, this creates
  c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\Lotus\Notes\data' in the
  users profile as expected.
  2. Upgrade to Notes 9.0.1 multiuser, this creates the
  additional data directory
  'c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\IBM\Notes\data' in the
  users profile.
  3. Notice you now have two data directories in
  c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\.
  
  A: 'c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\Lotus\Notes\data'
  B: 'c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\IBM\Notes\data'
  
  'c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\Lotus\Notes\data' is the
  correct one and has all the files\databases as expected.
  'c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\IBM\Notes\data' which is
  the newly created data directory just has a workspace folder
  created in it.
  
  Notes is not affected by the additional data directory that is
  created in
  'c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\IBM\Notes\data', to
  verify that the correct data directory is being used please do
  the following:
  
  Open the file Framework/rcp/rcplauncher.properties (of the
  upgraded 9.0.1 client) and check the RCP.DATA= line, it should
  point to the correct data directory which for an upgrade of
  8.5.3 multiuser Notes client to 9.0.1 is
  c:\users\[userprofile]\Appdata\local\Lotus\Notes\data.
