As expected it worked !!!
I downloaded it and got ready for upgrade from Quickr 8.0.0.2 HF7 on Domino 7.0.2
Here's what I've done:
- Download Domino 8.0.1 for windows
- Download Quickr 8.1 for windows
- Install 8.0.1 upgrade to your Domino 7.2/3 server
- Disable the http task in notes.ini (to allow update without a crash due to nquickplace.dll)
- Start domino server, update names.nsf templates, allow creation/upgrade of the domino server
- Stop domino server
- Install quickr 8.1 on top
- Re-enable http task in notes.ini
- Start the domino server.
Now it's time to update quickr services / places
- "load qptool upgrade -server" (this upgrade server design and config)
- "load qptool upgrade -a" (this upgrades all your servers-placetypes)
- "load qptool unregister -a" (unregister from the place catalog)
- "load qptool register -a" (re-register your places)
At this point you're done... enjoy your new quickr 8.1
Important Notes
- Snapps qTemplates get broken after installing 8.1. If you use those please wait for snapps to release new stuff.
- New connectors are in, I've already found some bug but will discuss about those later.
- Your domino server is now 8.0.1, please run note compression and save some space.

I know the following is an issue in R7: If you don't use the "-install" option in step 4, you will not have mail-in database documents for your places in the Domino Directory. Step 3 removes mail-in documents, however step 4 doesn't put them back in. Step 4 should therefore be:
4. "load qptool register -a -install"
OR:
3. "load qptool unregister -a -placecatalog"
4. "load qptool register -a -placecatalog"
Hello Gennady.
I've no experience about Quickr 8.1 with a partitioned server but I've an idea. Maybe you're not missing anything. The installation process for quickr 8.1 might be missing to check for partitions.
Let's try fooling it.
1- Copy for a moment your notes.ini from the quickr partition to c:\lotus\domino
2- Start the upgrade and point the installation to c:\lotus\domino
3- It should detect now the notesdata directory and proceed.
At end of the process compare the notes.ini in c:\lotus\domino with the old one from the quickr partition. Eventually (I think you'll need to) copy the modified notes.ini to the partition directory.
Can you try this ?
I've tried to do the same but can't get through step 7. My environment is Windows 2003 server, and I've upgraded my Domino to 8.0.1 which is 3 Domino partitions, one of which has Quickr 8.0.0.2 installed.
Everytime I run the install for Quickr 8.1 it refuses to get beyond the path prompting. When it defaults to "D:\Lotus\Domino" and I accept that it tells me that the server needs to be setup first. When I point it to the specific partition (i.e. "D:\Lotus\Domino\Parition2") it tells me that the directory already exists.
I can't get beyond that. What am I missing?
The point is we started playing with it before IBM made it completely available ... we're to quick with IBM stuff.
Just found your blog yesterday per Stuart. I'm upgrading a box now - glad to see that you have provided some documentation that IBM hasn't.... ;)
Looks great! Upgrading the J2EE version however looks somewhat more complicated...
We are in the process of upgrading to Domino 8.0.1 and will be upgrading the Quickr server as well. I look forward to hearing about any "gothchas" you have experienced especially with the connectors.
