New Server For Domino upgrade

Category 8.5 domino performances

We, at work, are going to buy a new server to upgrade our corporate domino server.

This server is used for mails, workflow databases, developpement, and soon i hope, traveler and sametime (lite).

So we need a server with great IO if possible and i want it to be virtualizable ready.

I check IBM site and discuss with a resseler and it seems that a x3500 could be the server we need.

Bi quad Core, 12 GB of ram, 3*300Go sas at 15K.

The unknown for the moment is the licence price for VmWare ESX and some windows 2003.

I'm waiting for these informations to take a decision and i am starting to think to go to another resseler who maybe does not do IBM at all...

Any advice on the hardware needed ?

Nokia e71 and commontime mSuite

Category e71 sync msuite
Is someone using commontimes's mSuite ?

mSuite is a software to sync your lotus notes emails, calendar, tasks and contacts over the air with you mobile phone.

We use it at work and it is working very well.

We use it on Windows mobile 6.1, nokia 3rd generation and (just for mail as the 5.0.7 beta does not sync calendar yet) iphone.

I've used it on my nokia e65 since a year now and all is working very well.
What i love on this nokia is the ability to see your notes email directly under the default menu when you start the phone.

Now, we bought some e71, and they are pretty the same as my e61.
Menus are quite the same ans apps too (quick office is a real value for businessman to see doc or ppt over the air).

But one think that does not work with this phone is the ability to see notes mails directly on the default menu (accueil in french).
I can configure a pop or imap mail and it will be visible on start page, but not for Notes emails.

E61 can do this but not E71 ?
Is this just a 5.0.7 mSuite bug ? Maybe, but only on this phone as e61 show notes mails correctly under the start page.

Maybe some photos next time.

View Error

Category lotus error view

Again, java hate me !

here is the last error after trying to execute the last java agent on the server:

A picture named M2

I can not open a view in the database where agent run.

Never seen this error before.

in english, the text is: Attempt to reopen an open container.

the problem was fixed by dropping all users from the database.

but during the execution of the java agent, a note was corrupted and a fixup deleted it.

Java seems to be more complicated than excpected.

getItemValueString() bug ?

Category java lotus

Hi all,

Can someone please say to me what's wrong with this code ? (on lotus designer 6.5.4)

View viewparam = db.getView("Parametres");
lotus.domino.Document docparam = viewparam.getFirstDocument();
       while (docparam != null) {
       String cntsuivi = docparam.getItemValueString("CltFollow");
               if (cntsuivi != "NON") {
                       String cntnom = docparam.getItemValueString("Name");
                       String cntprenom = docparam.getItemValueString("FirstName");
                       String cntemail = docparam.getItemValueString("Email");
                       System.out.println("Envoi du mail à " +cntprenom+" "+cntnom+" - "+cntemail);
                         }
.....


Of course, there is a problem as the println never occurs.
The CltFollow Field is a simple text field, and the documents have the "OUI" Value in it.

The only thing that seems to work is:
Item cntsuivi = docparam.getFirstItem("CltFollow");
String cntsuivivalue = cntsuivi.getValueString();
       if (cntsuivivalue.indexOf("OUI") == 0 ) {


And i do not understand why as i have on the same agent, these lines that are working well:
     String cdtmailaction = doc.getItemValueString("MailAction");
     if (cdtmailaction != "NON") {


Is this a getItemValueString() bug or something else ?
