In SAC, there is now a "Mobile" tab with an option for "Enable Activesync". It is coming soon, finally!

You shouldn't have to stop scalix-tomcat, scalix, or scalix-postgres; the installer will do that for you. Likewise you shouldn't need to run ompatchom.

I'm not sure your loss of appointments is related to your upgrade. We've done several upgrades without the appointments being affected.

Try looking at the appointments with another client or if you're familiar with omcontain, use that. See if they're still on the server and troubleshoot this as if it were not related to the upgrade.

Or did everyone lose their appointments?

Some contributed scripts to clear the imap cache are in the Wiki. They do this on a user-by user basis though, so you'd need to do something like:

omshowu -m all | while read i
do
<scriptname> $i
done


Or you could do something like this:

# locate imap-cache | awk -F/ '{ print "rm -f "$1"/"$2"/"$3"/"$4"/"$5"/"$6"/"$7"/"$8"/"$9 }' | sort -u > /tmp/del-cache

Then sh -x /tmp/del-cache

Please double-check all this before doing it. None of it is guaranteed and you do it at your own risk.

how can i delete all caches for all user?

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/opt/scalix/<xx>/s/user*/g*/imap-cache


and

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/opt/scalix/<xx>/s/user*/g*/00000v8.ofs


You break it, you bought it.

We'll be giving it a whirl this weekend. I'll report back how things went on Monday. I just tested the upgrade on a test instance (a VM clone of our production) and it ran pretty smoothly. The only hitch was that I had to upgrade the local JVM to the latest one packaged with the installer. I will also need to reestablish our smtpd.cfg,general.cfg, and sendmail.cf (smarthost entries) since they were replaced during the upgrade, other than that it looks good. Hopefully all goes well this weekend - crosses fingers :)

Our upgrade path was 11.0.0 --> 11.4.2 Yeah we waited a while before we upgraded ;)

We also had users with the IMAP_cache issue. Running the imap_cache.sh against each user resolved their log on issues. Fortunately, out of 6k users, we only had 20 or so users with the imap_cache / logon issues.

I just did the upgrade from 11.4.1, which was not absolutely painless. At first scalix server rpm failed to install and the upgrade moved around the messagestore. After moving back and patching messagestore we're back online now.

Only thing i noticed: We've got quite some undefined Marks in sac. On tab per every user name undefined with a checkbox undefined in it. I don't think the whole tab was present before. Anybody else noticing the same ??

OK - completed the upgrade this weekend (11.0.0 --> 11.4.2) and everything went fine. The only thing I had to do during the upgrade process was to install the Java JVM that Scalix packaged with 11.4 since the version installed by 11.0 was outdated (according to the installer). Once I reapplied the changes to smtpd.cfg and sendmail I was back in business. Not including the backups and preparation for the upgrade the actual upgrade took about 20 min to complete.

Scalix deserves a pat on the back for this smooth install/upgrade. Congrats!

My environment:

RHEL 4.x
Scalix 11.0.0 --> 11.4.2 Community (probably do to small business very soon due to recent license change)
