A friend of mine found a recent posting on the public Lotus Support database talking about what database properties are affected by a design refresh and a design replace. What made this interesting to me was not the details, but the differences. There are some database properties that are not affected by a regular refresh of the design, but they are affected by a replace of a design.

If you are opening up a view in a browser, not using the Java applet (because the Java applet takes so much longer to open, especially over a phone line) and wish to have alternate row colors (yes, Rnext does this, but this is for those of you not on Rnext yet) then this is one way to do it. There are several ways to accomplish this, so this is by no means the only way.

If you have a categorized view, shown to browsers, that includes totals, how can you prevent the overall total row from appearing? It’s actually not that complicated – you just have to think about how Domino generates the HTML for views. But the first question would be “why would you want to do that?”

Here at Breaking Par, we make daily backups of all our customer’s HTML files to a backup machine. The backup was done through a Windows batch file using the XCOPY command to copy all the files that had been modified. We have been doing this for a long time without much thought.
Recently, we took a look at the directories and noticed there was extra files in the backup subdirectory that didn’t exist in the main directory. After some research, we determined that the files were deleted in the main directory and never deleted in the subdirectory. After a little research, we were able to figure out how to get a true backup using only Windows batch files.

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.

We’ve used soft deletes before, but never with response documents. So when our first project asking for that came about, it was time for some testing. And just like regular deletes can result in orphan documents, recovering soft-deleted documents can result in orphan documents. For example, let’s say you’ve soft-deleted a document and its parent.
If you restore the child, then the parent is still soft-deleted, so the child becomes an orphan in production. Conversely, if you restore the parent and not the child, that child, although not an orphan, might not be visible to your “deleted documents” views depending on how they were set up, so it might not be possible to restore that child.

With a distributed application like Notes, one of the problems is that someone can have a local replica and not replicate for a while. This can cause problems like previously deleted documents reappearing, or replication conflicts. This tip describes one way of reminding users to replicate at least somewhat frequently. If the user hasn’t replicated in a week or more, they are reminded to replicate so they’ll have the latest information.

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:
