Hi all,we have a strange problem with one group in a database. Probably some one can help?
Following configuration:
In the NAB the groups
“User-A”, “User-B”, “User-C” up to “User-H” exist, all with a lot of users in it.
The separate user-groups are all listed in a group named “User-All”, this group is in the ACL of the database.
Now it happens nearly every morning, that the users listed in group “User-A” has no more access to the database. But the users listed in the other groups can access the database.
If I save the group User-A, it works after short time.
In the night, all user-groups are replicated by LEI from a admin server to the server the database is on.
Has anybody an idea? Thanks for your help.

The overnight action: Is it just replication, or is LEI populating the groups from another source of names?
Is the same LEI action populating each group the same way, or are there separate LEI actions for each group?
You say the access works soon after you save the group. That tells me that either …
a) the names are almost right after the LEI action, but require a ui save to resolve them to proper name format;
b) in creating or populating the Members field, the Summary flag is not being set. (see Help)

In the LEI action the point “Replication” is selected, so that databases which are no replicas can replicate. Each group is published the same way.
a)I think it is also possible to copy the group form the one server to the other - so ui save is not required. But I will check it tomorrow
b)I think I checked it already the summary flag, but I will check it tomorrow again.
Thanks for your help

Hí Bill,you’re right!!!
The summary flag wasn’t set!
No we have the cause and we only must find a final solution
Many thanks!!

I don’t know if you can do it in or with LEI, but in Notes there’d be two common ways:1) using “extended document syntax” in assigning the Members field to the group document; i.e. groupdoc.Members = [array of values]. This results in the IsSummary property being True.
- explicitly setting the IsSummary property of the Members notesitem to True after populating it; i.e. …
set membersitem = groupdoc.ReplaceItemValue(“Members”, [array of values])
membersitem.IsSummary = True
Subject: .ComputeWithForm would also right this
