Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide

To Manage Different Versions of Messaging Server and Messenger Express Multiplexor

If you use different versions of Messaging Server for the Messenger Express Multiplexor and the back-end mail hosts, you need to update the Messenger Express static files to ensure compatibility between the servers.

The static files which make up the Messenger Express interface are served directly from the Messenger Express Multiplexor, not the user’s mail host. The Multiplexor finds these files in the msg_svr_base/config/html directory.

To update these files in order to ensure compatibility between servers, replace the entire contents (which consist of these static files that make up the Messenger Express interface) of the directory msg_svr_base/config/html in the newer version of Messaging Server with the entire contents of the same directory in the older version of Messaging Server.

For example, if the back-end messaging servers use Messaging Server 6 2003Q4 and you have installed Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 as the Messenger Express Multiplexor, you need to replace the entire contents of the directory msg_svr_base/config/html of the Messenger Express Multiplexor with the contents of the same directory from the Messaging Server 6 2003Q4 back-end server. When you eventually upgrade Messaging Server 6 2003Q4 to Messaging Server 6 2005Q4, you can update these static files in directory msg_svr_base/config/html for the Messenger Express Multiplexor server as well.
