Notes 6 server is pretty compatible with Notes 5 Server, one annoying problem is the web view  next and previous or prev  pages. Here is the solution.




To add buttons to move up and down in a web view the commands used to be:

 

@Command([ViewPageDown])

@Command([ViewPageUp])

 

If you check the designer help for ViewPageUp or ViewPageDown they are not there any more!

But you can still save a $$ViewTemplateDefault form etc with the commands, the notes 6 server will not interpret them and will just make the links unclickable.

 

What you have to do now is:

 

@DbCommand("Domino" "ViewPreviousPage")  

@DbCommand("Domino" "ViewNextPage")

 

So ViewPreviousPage and ViewNextPage are what you need.

Not sure why this has been done for view the next pages etc. The commands translate the &start etc into the url automatically.

This is probably the case for Notes 7 as well.

Now Lotus and IBM are usually very good at this sort of thing, making versions updwardly compatible but this is the sort of small but crucial change which is not good. Upgrade your servers and then all your users cannot see the next page. Nightmare.

Naughty IBM don't do it again.

NB:If the action hotspots are ticked with text property  Pass-Thru HTML  and then re-saved they turn into non links.
