Ever since switching to Version 6, have been on several versions now using 6.5.1. I have had this problem and can’t figure out why.
Alarms will work OK then all of a sudden some calendar entries that have alarms on (repeat entries) will stop working. When I check the $Alarm folder they are Not there. I then have to go to each entry and edit it, uncheck notify me, recheck notify me, click OK to the Alarm options dialog and then resave the document. They will then work again for a while and then the same thing will happened again. This is driving me nuts because I end up missing meeting or entering late? Any help in how to debug?
Another note: I get a dialog box when starting notes saying “you missed some alarms Do you wish to display them now” I answer Yes and the alarms it shows are the one that went off already so I click done. I’m sure this is related since this has been happening also since going to V6 also.
Did you ever find a solution for this? I have a user experiencing the same thing. Repeating reminders will disappear from the $Alarm view, even though they are properly created and still show in her calendar. At the same time, she will snooze an alarm a couple times, then click done. The next morning it comes up as a missed alarm.
The missed alarms continue to appear each day, no matter what is an issue in 7 as well. Has anyone repaired this issue since IBM apparently is not going to?
This (did not work, but) is the suggestion I got from IBM support. Run this command against the user’s mail file:
load updall mail\filename.nsf -t “($alarms)” -r
Like I said, that didn’t work. What did work was to create a local replica (of the mail file), delete the server’s replica, then create a new server replica from the local one.
I just had a user with the same problem. Repeating meeting alarms would not go away. We solved it by doing running the fixup command on the user’s mail file from the Administrator.
I’m using Notes6v1 template - I just did a replace design with the current Notes6v1 template from my server just incase I had a prerelease version in use.
