Upgrading and Downgrading Considerations

When upgrading to a multi-level address book version from a single-level address book, the following factors have to be taken into consideration:

The system automatically creates a new address book with a different name and modifies the new address book to a multi-level hierarchical address book.

By default, the address book contains two levels:

The top level (root) named “Main”.

Second level - All address book groups from the single-level address book are placed under the “Main” group with their associated participants.

Participants that were not previously associated with any group in the Address Book are placed in the “Main” group.

All participants in the Address Book appear in the “All Participants” group.

During the upgrade process, the single-level address book file is save in the system to enable a future the downgrade of the version to a previous, single-level address book version (if required).

When downgrading from a multi-level address book version to a single-level address book version, the multi-level address book is replaced during the downgrade process by the single-level address book that was saved during the upgrade process.
