Quickr Hotfix Installer
Tags:
For those following Quickr you know that Hotfixes are a regular occurence (my opinion on the frequency of Hotfixes can be read here). One of the biggest complaints is that until now the process to install a hotfix was manually copying files into many different directories making it a time consuming process and one prone to error. Well good news, starting with Quickr HF 19 which is due out imminently there is a Hotfix Installer (for Windows only).
The Hotfix is contained in a Jar file, which is placed in the \lotus\domino\jvm\lib\ext directory on the server, and the server needs to have Java 1.5 or later installed. The other requirement is to make sure your Domino program directory is in the system path. Once you have this done simply click the Jar file or from a command prompt run "java - jar HF##.jar" like magic the installer creates a backup of the original files and installs the hotfix
You still need to run the qptool commands to unlock and upgrade places as in previous hotfixes.
Thanks IBM nice job!

Do you know if this means "apply 1-18 manually" and then 19+ will have installers? Or will there be a rollup?

Are you asking if you would need to apply 1-18 manually and then use the installer moving forward?
The hot fixes delivered are cummulative. So installing 19 will install the other hot fix files as well.

Well, duh (me).
It's always good to look silly in public. 8-)
Thanks for the info!

Not the case. You can always overwrite everything with each hotfix. In fact that is exactly what the installer does.
This is why I never understood the fuss about how hard people were saying it was to install hotfixes - I never read the wrong bits, and always overwrote, so each hotfix only took me 2 minutes to install!
The installer is a step forward - but it does need more QA. I'm at a 50% success rate with it right now.
Cheers

Have you contacted the Quickplace team about this?
I am sure that they would like to have your feedback.
