Description

Beginning with Enterprise Vault 11 and IBM Domino 9, EVInstall.nsf deploys new customized forms (ev_forms9.nsf and ev_forms9_x.nsf); the notes.ini setting ' iNotes_WA_FormsFiles=iNotes/ev_forms9.nsf ' allows Domino Server to load customized forms.  Refer to this article for further details.

There are scenarios where upgraded Domino Servers still have users with the previous template version (ev_mail85.ntf). The same users would need to load the enterprise vault modified forms85.nsf and forms85_x.nsf during the iNotes sessions.

In the forms customization the EVInstall.nsf does:
  1. Create newly customized forms iNotes/ev_forms9.nsf and iNotes/ev_forms9_x.nsf
  2. Modify the IBM standard iNotes/forms85.nsf
  3. Create the iNotes/forms85_x.nsf

In order to make the forms85.nsf available for users with the previous template (ev_mail85.ntf) it is necessary to add the 'iNotes/forms85.nsf' in the notes.ini as follow:

iNotes_WA_FormsFiles=iNotes/ev_forms9.nsf,iNotes/Forms85.nsf

A restart of the http task after the notes.ini update is required.
