Why are deleted documents reappearing?
A purge interval prevents replication of deletions
When a document is deleted, it leaves behind a deletion stub. When the database replicates, the deletion stub is used to identify and delete the same document in the replica. To save disk space, Notes purges deletion stubs that remain from document deletions according to the replication setting “Remove documents that have not been modified within the last [ ] days.” If Notes purges the deletion stubs before they have a chance to replicate, deleted documents can reappear after the next replication.

During development of a new application, we ran across a situation that I’m sure some of you have seen. We have a parent document and children documents. The children are only displayed in an embedded view in the parent document. So, when you open up the parent, you see an embedded view with “show single category” enabled that shows all the children of that parent. Those children don’t show up in any other view, so you must open up the parent to see them. There’s buttons in the parent to create a child, edit a child, delete a child, etc.

This JavaScript regular expression will validate a Notes ID. To use the function, call “isValidNotesID” and pass in the Notes ID to be checked and an optional parameter of the number of slashes that should be in the ID. If the parameter is omitted, it defaults to 1 slash. For example, if the ID is supposed to be in the format of “John Doe/MyCompany”, then you can call isValidNotesID(myString). But if the format is supposed to be “John Doe/MyCity/MyCompany”, then you’ll need to call isValidNotesID(myString, 2).
