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).

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.

Why Something is disabling Lotus Notes Agent

The Design Update task is a system process that updates database design from a database template. This task’s goal is to keep the database and the template in synch.

Why Lotus Notes mail agents do not run

Property “After new mail has arrived” agents are designed to run on the home mail server of the agent owner (signer).

How to fix Lotus Notes Agent error “Unsupported trigger and search in the background or embedded agent”

Sometime I found this error raise when I run schedule agent by manual and I think this error is generated in a server-based agent (which can be a Web agent or any other agent invoked on the server) or embedded agent (an agent called by another agent) which references UI elements as trigger/search target settings in the agent builder.

For example, suppose you create an agent that has action menu selection as a trigger and all selected documents as a search target. When you invoke the agent from the browser, you receive the unsupported trigger… error.

The “all selected documents” concept is not understood within a Web agent; this setting is meaningful only in a Notes client. To fix the problem, change the target setting, for instance, to all documents or none. The following four options are not supported in this situation:
