If you add a policy to use the administration ECL as default for the workstation ECL be careful.
If the ID is not allowed to update the workstation ECL all users will get a ECL alert to allow to modify their workstation ECL. If you have 1000+ users the support phone keeps ringing.
Ok. I know in Lotus Notes it’s all about security.
After reading about Viper I could imagine that this would be a good way to store nsf data in DB2. Instead of using BLOBs in tables for the nsf data move the XML representation (DXL) under the hood of the XML engine in the upcoming Viper.
What would you gain comparing to the current DB2 integration in Lotus/Notes 7?
You could retrieve data trough a well known standard query language xquery instead of proprietary views.
This would open the proprietary nsf container more to standards and business needs.
If so be aware because if you use <xsl:sort> in your stylesheet the result may not be correct.
IBM Support:
I would like to let you know that I was able to reproduce this PMR issue.
I have now created SPR (Software Problem Report): KMUR6K8JAZ, APAR: L011758
This issue will be fixed in a further release.
This wrong sort order result is in Notes/Domino 6 and 7.
If you have trouble in sending mails between two Domino servers over a VPN connection and all Domino settings are right, decrease the MTU size of the server.
If your Domino server is a Windows machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces {Interface ID} MTU -> 1006
In this case 1006 was a good value. (CISCO VPN Concentrators on both sides)
„After 32766 Documents the agent hangs with ‚Buffer Overflow‘.“
I’ve heard this so often.
„Do you have a counter variable?“
„Yes.“
„You’ve declared it as integer, right?“
„Yes.“
„So, what’s the scope of integer?“
„hmm. -32,768 to 32,767?“
„OK, then correct your Dim statement and better don’t you use counter variables if you don’t really need them, cause they are performance muncher.“
If you are using the ‚Allow Document Locking‘ option on a database, user with author rights will not be able to update or create a profil documents anymore.
Workaround:
Create a authorfield in the profile document with the username for the users with author rights.
To limit the Domino WebSearch to one explicit field just use the following query syntax:
Query=[FIELDNAME]contains(Value)
Another notice from the field support front.
If a user always send mails with a wrong sender name and all settings seems to be correct, look for a field in the sent mail called ‚$AltPrincipal‘. If the wrong name is in this field create an action that corrects a field in the calendarprofile.
@SetProfileField(„CalendarProfile“;“AltOwner“;““);
This issue is caused when the initial setup and configuration of the notes client was made with another users id file or the user has an ‚Alternate Name‘. You may correct the owner of the mail file, but the ‚AltOwner‘ field will not update.
…if you always try to close a browser window with ‚esc‘ or right doubleclick.
I’ve been two days on the front. I did some support for a midsize company (250 Lotus Notes users). This is one of my trusty customers for five years and three companies now and I really enjoy to work for them.
Here are three issues that I always come across.
A new employee used MS Outlook before and wanted to move his contacts to his personal addressbook. This man really had about 400 Outlook contacts. The IT department denied to import this contacts. This is really a two minute effort. Export the MS Outlook contacts to a MS Excel file. Edit the columnheaders to fieldnames of the contact form („FirstName“, „LastName“ etc.). Save the file as .wk4 (Lotus 1-2-3). Open the Lotus Notes addressbook and choose File->Import->Lotus 1-2-3. Select the .wk4 file. On the dialog choose ‚Contact‘ as form, fieldnames definied by WKS-title and calculate fields on import. That’s it. Two minutes and one new satisfied notes user.
If you update a Domino server (win32) and the installation shows up a messagebox with „js32.dll -115 error“. Check if there is a service or process running that holds the js32.dll.
Disable all processes and services that are related to Antivirus software. If nothing helps boot the machine in safe mode (F8), update the server and reboot.
Another notes user complained that the alarms are not working. This sometimes happens if the notes.ini is not local. Check the notes.ini if there is an entry „$EnableAlarms=1“. If it’s not there or set to „0“ simply add or change it.
Check the permissions of the user for this file!
Nice weekend.
