The latter. You don't even need to original release.

Hi guys,

Has anybody upgraded to GW8 on SBS 6.6? Yes, it is available for people
with active maintenance protection since some time in January 2009.

Another question I have. Do I need to install Full Product first or can

I jump to GW8HP1? Currently I am on GW7.0.3

Thank you,
Vladimir Mikhelson

Massimo,

Thank you for the reply. It helps. I was confused by the fact that GW8
was not made available for SBS users for a while and contemplated the
Full Product installation in order to avoid any licensing pitfalls.

In case somebody else steps into the same....

I ran my first GroupWise 7.1 to 8.0HP1 upgrade yesterday. In fact, the
end of it was earlier today.

The reason was a different behavior of LDAP provided by GWIA. The
bottom line, uncheck the "Enable LDAP Servive" box on the GWIA / LDAP
tab if you happen to have it checked before you start GroupWise 8.

Effects were multiple and nasty:

-- redirector became confused and mapped all letters to SYS: at the same
time showing that the mappings were correct;

-- Logger Screen: RIGHTS CACHE.......105 (ERROR -603) The requested
attribute could not be found. In the directory, if an attribute does
not contain a value then the attribute does not exist for the specific
object. Rights CACHE .......105 INVALID_ATTRIBUTE

-- Logger Screen: TLS ACCEPT FAILURE 1 ON CONNECTION 0xA5D87EE0,
setting error=-5875. Error stack: Error 14094418: SSL ROUTINES:
SSL3_READ_BYTES: TLSv1 ALERT UNKNOWN CA - SSL ALERT NUMBER 48 TLS
HANDSHAKE FAILED ON CONNECTION 0xA5D87EE0, ERR=-5875

-- Logger Screen: FAILED TO DUPLICATE CONTEXT 0x2FB0038 IN DUPLICATE
NDS CONTEXT, ERR=TRANSPORT FAILURE (-625)

-- POA screen: LDAP ERROR 2

The last one led me to the TID7000795 where the symptom was explained.

HTH,
Vladimir
