Database copy and dates

Just faced a very strange issue. I have a local replica of the nd6forum.nsf from the LDD server, for Darwino demo purposes. Today, I refreshed by local replica (on a Notes client) and then created a fresh new copy of the database on my server, with the ‘New Copy…’ action from the client. The new copy was created successfully on my server in an handful of minutes, for more or less 400,000 documents.

But when I introspected the documents, I saw that some of them have a Added & Modified date… in the future. Basically, some documents have dates that look correct, but others are like 3 hours later in the future (remember, the whole copy was don in minutes). The date used by the server is consistent with the OS date. I have screen shots but cannot attach them to this document ;-(

Anyone faced the issue and/or has an idea of what’s going on. Is it because the copy operation is not using the ‘now’ date when copying a document but a date that is incremented for each document? Anyway, that looks like a bug!

Subject: Thanks for the pointer

I’ll ask the developers at Connect, to understand what is going on behind the scene!

Subject: Someone reported a similar issue on this forum a while back.

They were destroying & recopying documents in-bulk (around this count) using … I think using API, but it might’ve been LotusScript.

It sticks in my memory.

At first a couple of us thought the user had overflowed the “per-doc-increment” code that’s supposed to give every doc a UNID. Only it didn’t fit. They weren’t getting more than 1 doc across in a microsec.

I had to reach to a few very sophisticated possibilities to come up with an answer, and I’m really not sure.

Subject: AHA. Found it in 853 forum.

And btw thanks for all you’ve done for this community. I remember your thinking being “right there” whenever I asked a question.
