Since installing Notes 9.0.1 FP2 and FP3 I’ve found the Domino Designer client often fails to load after using it for a period of time. I’ll usually right mouse click a database icon from the workspace and select ‘Open in Designer’, do what I want with the database then close the Designer. After doing this several times eventually the Domino Designer fails to load any more. I then have to shut down Notes completely before the Designer will launch again.
Was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this too? I’m seeing the same behaviour across several different machines all running on Windows 7.
Thanks Dave. Haven’t had to resort to deleting the Workspace yet. Shutting down the Notes client and restarting it enables the Designer client to work again, although I think I’ll remove the workspace anyway as a once-off and see if that fixes the problem longer term.
Subject: I’ve experienced this as well, workaround
Hi, Alex. I’ve experienced the same problem. Sometimes even when I shutdown the IBM Lotus Notes client, reopen it, then try to launch Designer, it will still not open. I’ve been able to get the Designer client to open by closing the IBM Lotus Notes client and then removing the workspace folder under the Notes data directory. Now when you restart the Notes client, the workspace folder will get rebuilt and you should be able to start your Designer client.
