We have been used both Lotus Notes servers and ver-4.57 and 8.5.x. I would like to migrate/copy 4.57 database to 8.5 Server.　The 4.57 Notes servers will be stopped after migratation. I would like to migrate them for way as follows.

  1. Copy Database files(*.nsf files) from 4.57 Servers to Notes 8.5 Server.
  2. Change ODS from 20 to 43 of each nsf files.

We would like to modify/fix databases which were copyed from 4.57 (in 8.5 server) by Domino Designer 8 if we received some request to add functions or demand about them.

Is this possible? Are there any restrictions to use Notes Designer to fix them?

I would like to receive the link/reference or any advice.

Notes databases are upwards compatible.

You probably won't run into issues converting databases to a higher Notes version. This is one of the advantages of Notes.
