20.4 Performing Post-Update Tasks

After you start Novell Vibe 3, you can access your Vibe site as usual. However, you need to reset some aspects of the interface before you allow users to access the updated site. The interface reset affects only those definitions and templates that are included with the Vibe product. If you have created custom definitions and templates, they are unaffected by the interface reset.

20.4.1 Resetting Your Definitions

Various aspects of the Vibe interface have been redesigned and enhanced in Vibe 3. Some of these enhancements affect entries, folders, user profiles, and user workspaces. If you have made customizations to these areas of Vibe, you must reset these definitions in order to see the Vibe 3 enhancements, as described in this section.

WARNING:The following procedures delete any custom modifications that you have previously made to the default Vibe definitions. If you want to save any modified definitions before proceeding, you can export the modified definitions. Also, you might want to document exactly what changes you have made to make it easier to reconstruct the definition after you reset it.

Following is a list of Vibe definitions that you need to reset in order to see the Vibe 3 enhancements:

Resetting Your Entry Definitions

Entry views have been redesigned and enhanced in Vibe 3. Now users can view an entry’s history, create notes about files associated with the entry, delete previous file versions, and more. For more information, see Working With Folder Entries in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 User Guide.

If you have modified any of the factory-supplied definitions, you won’t see the new entry definitions when you upgrade to Vibe 3. In order to see the new entry definitions, you need to reset your current definitions.
