Conversation Threads - OpenViewThreads reseting to zero

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We are just finishing up our Pilot Upgrade and getting ready to start rolling R8.5 out to users but a few pilot users have brought to my attention that Threaded messages were no longer working.

Upon checking my mail file I noticed the same thing so did some checking and found a Technote : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&context=SSKTMJ&context=SSCVRGU&context=SSPQ69&context=SSKTWP&context=SSKTPA&q1=conversation&uid=swg21331170&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&cc=us&lang=en

To resolve the Tech Note states:

To correct the problem, add the setting OpenViewThreads=1 to the NOTES.INI file for Notes 8.5 clients enabled for roaming.

Unfortunately this only works temporarily.

I’ve set that value to 1 and even removed the line completely from the Notes.ini.

Upon the next start of lotus Notes the line returns to Openveiwthreads=0 and threaded messages no longer work.

We are using policy’s and could force that setting to 1 as stated in that Tech note but it seems there maybe something else going on here causing that setting to revert to zero each time.

This does seems to be a Roaming issue as users who are on the pilot and are not roaming do not have the problem. We use Roaming here for Blackberry’s only.

Thanks for any insight,

Subject: 8.5 client and 8.5 Server

Interesting side note…so far…

The previous post was in regards to a R8.5 client connecting to a R8.0.2 Server.

I just finished setting up a test user with a R8.5 client against a R8.5 server and, even though the OpenViewThreads setting reverted back to Zero, threaded messages were working just fine.

Might just be yet another quirk of a R8.5 Client hitting a R8.0.2 Server…

I’ll keep testing.

Subject: We experience the same

Thanks for your update, we have excactly the same behaviour for users replicating with a 8.0.2 server.

We also tried to turn off the policies, but still have the same problem.

Subject: Still having the problem

I am still having the same issue, even though it is a 8.51 server and 8.51 client keeps reverting back.
