Today I ran into something strange.

A user tried to enable the auto-status change feature in sametime embedded. Everytime he opened the preferences he got an error message. And when he changed the
properties they wouldn't save.

After some investigation I discovered, that the file notesdataworkspace.metadata.pluginscom.ibm.collaboration.realtime.alertmanagerautostatus.xml was empty but 1kb big.
So I copied the file from another workstation. After the user had restarted the notes client, he was able to adjust the auto-status change settings.

It's only a small thing, but it's anoying. [read] Keywords: notes

SPNEGO - SSO from Hell Fri, Jan 27th 2012 5:10a Urs Meli Just during Lotusphere I got the message that our SPNEGO support stoppt working. Right back from Orlando I checked everything in the troubleshooting guide . Nothing helped. No one did any changes to our dominos or to the active directory. Wireshark revealed a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error, while authentication. So I lurked around the internet for this error without success. Some pages indicated, that it is a replication problem between domain controllers. But dcdiag.exe didn't find anything.

Managed beans and the revenge of the ACL Fri, Oct 14th 2011 7:11a Urs Meli Yesterday I started the upgrade process for pure notes client database. The plan was to put a xpage database besides the original notes db. Instead of using views as datasources I tried to do it with beans. Very simple: Xpages and managed beans When I openend the XPage, there was no data. So I put a lot of debug statements in my java code. I could track it down until I found that Document doc = view.getFirstDocument(); returned alwas null. So I double checked the view: there were document [read] Keywords: acl notes notes client xpages database interface java password server

Contact's Picture Mon, Oct 3rd 2011 7:09a Urs Meli Just finished a small agent, which sync's all company contacts into the mailfiles. Now every employee has all the contact infos from the others on their smartphone. It copies even the sametime picture to the contact document. We are 25 employees at the moment, so its just a small amount of data.

Script Library from Hell Mon, Aug 8th 2011 10:12a Urs Meli After I upgraded my notesclient to 8.5.2 FP 3 I encountered a strange error. I couldn't open the library in the editor. Once open, the client would crash after the first click. After 5 crashes I switched to the old editor. It openend. It didn't crash. BUT I couldn't save. Ok. there were a few red lines in the declaration section. Correcting them did drop random line of codes to null. After a lot of swearing I exported the library to an lss file. Opened it with gVim and what d [read] Keywords: script library
