Create Replica Database by Lotus Script

In Lotus Notes Client, we can create new replica by manual but it was a lot of databases, decided to create a copy of our agents to run. But we are not a copy, a replica. We, NotesDatabase.CreateCopy method (it only copies the design) does not copy the documents found. Our method can not obtain a handle to all documents in the source database are copied to the destination database that could have been. But instead we had to use another approach.  Then we have a unique replica and create a new replica ID of the database decided to change. This creates a copy of the database.

Difference between Deny Access vs Full Access Administrators in Lotus Notes

I always thought that “Deny Access” was the be-all, end-all. But apparently not. If someone is listed in both the “Full Access Administrators” list and the “Deny Access” list for the server, they will still be able to access the server. The “Full Access Administrators” trumps the “Deny Access” setting.

Change Lotus Notes Replica ID

In a recent project, we were copying databases from one server to another. There were many databases to do, so we decided to write an agent to do the copy. But we wanted copies, not replicas. We found out that the NotesDatabase.CreateCopy method does not copy documents (it only copies the design). We could have used that method, then got a handle to all the documents in the source database and copied them over to the destination database. But instead we used another approach.

Track Who Replicated Deleted Documents Back to Lotus Notes Database?

Has this ever happened to you: all of a sudden you see thousands of documents that were deleted months ago back in your application. Just about everyone I know who has created an application with local replicas has seen this happen. And everyone who has seen it wants to find out who did it so they can give them 20 lashes with a wet noodle. (Or at least a replication lesson).

How to use Public/Private Views/Folders in Lotus Notes

What’s the difference?

Well, public views and folders are used by everyone. For a public folder, if a document is placed into the folder then everyone sees the document in the folder (assuming they have reader access to the document).

Preventing Notes Access Lotus Notes Application Tip

We were developing a new web site for a customer when we had an odd request – they wanted no Notes access whatsoever to the application. They wanted to force their users to access the application through a web browser. Normally, at least some kind of administrative access would happen through Notes, but that wasn’t even wanted in this case. How did we satisfy this requirement?

The first thing we’ll point out is that experienced Notes users will find a way around anything, so it’s very difficult to make the application 100% inaccessible to Notes. But these tips make it very difficult to access the application through Notes, and will stop 95% or more of the users (novice to intermediate experience levels) from accessing the application through Notes.

Lotus Notes Access Level – Deny Access vs Full Access Administrators

I always thought that “Deny Access” was the be-all, end-all. But apparently not. If someone is listed in both the “Full Access Administrators” list and the “Deny Access” list for the server, they will still be able to access the server. The “Full Access Administrators” trumps the “Deny Access” setting.

From the Administrator Help file, here’s information on the Full Access Administrators field:

Prevent Lotus Notes Error messages from router and Web agents

In Lotus Notes, the Agent Manager is not the only process that can run Lotus Notes Agents. In this section, we highlight how to view diagnostic information in router and Web agents.

Because the router executes pre-delivery mail agents, the Agent Manager use Notes.ini settings for logging and debugging have no effect. Instead, use the Logging level field in the Router/SMTP – Advanced – Controls tab of the server’s Configuration Settings document to control the level of errors written to the server console for pre-delivery agents. You can set the Logging level to Minimal, Normal (the default), Informational, or Verbose.

Helpful Notes.ini settings in Lotus Notes

There are a number of Notes.ini settings you can use to analyze Lotus Notes agent problems. You set these variables in your server’s Notes.ini file when debugging scheduled server-based agents, or in your Notes client’s Notes.ini file when debugging client-based scheduled agents.

Note that these variables are only used for debugging scheduled agents run by the Agent Manager in Lotus Domino. As we mentioned earlier, HTTP, router, console, RunOnServer, and interactive client agents are not run by the Agent Manager. Therefore the Notes.ini variables discussed in this section have no effect on these agents. (We discuss how to debug agents run by tasks other than Agent Manager later in this article.)
