C++ API 2.01 GetResponses() does not work with LN6

When using the C++ API 2.01 with LN 6 LNDocument::GetResponses returns the wrong number of items in the returned array.

The fault occurrs is I delete responses previously created - the steps (1) to (3) below fail as described if I run towards LN6 but succeed with LN4 and LN5:

Create 10 response documents to a parent document (pParent).

Delete all 10 response documents.

LNDocumentArray aRespDocs;

pParent->GetResponses(&aRespDocs);

int iCount = aRespDocs.GetCount(); < iCount is set to 10)>

aRespDocs[1].Open(); <Throws exception “551 (Invalid or nonexistent document)”>

Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

Would upgrading th API solve the problem?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I’ve got the same problem with the C API.

We have to look at two things here.

  1. The parent document contains an array of all its childs.

  2. The child have a $REF to the parent.

The problem occurs in both ways. If you delete a child, the parent keeps a reference to a non-existent document. It is the same thing if you erase the parent. The child keeps an invalid ref.

You can solve the child problem by deleting the $REF item in the Note, but since there is no way to modify the array of the parent(the one containing the ref to the childs), we have a problem there.

Here’s an idea if you need a patch.

Instead of using the getResponses method, you could try using a formula returning all the responses.

This is clearly a Notes API bug!

Hope this help.

Bjorn,

Release 2.01 of the C++ API was tested against Release 4.63 of Notes … quite some time ago! The design of forms and views has changed substantially since then. I’m afraid I can’t actually test this: I don’t have a C++ environment older than 2.1.

I would strongly urge that you test with Release 2.3 of the C++ API Toolkit. If THAT doesn’t solve the problem, then there’s a bug we need to know about.

Best of luck!

Subject: C++ API 2.3 does not work either

Unforunately an upgrade did not solve the problem.

I upgraded to release 2.3 and got the same error. Even though I delete all previously created response documents an array with invalid response documents is returned in GetResponses.

The fault also occurrs if I create the response documents with the Notes Client before deleting them over the C++ API.

Björn
