Duplicate documents using doc.save and uidoc.save?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,

I have a form that assigns a task to a group of users. In the button that assigns it, I have code like this:

doc.status = “Assigned”

doc.DateAssigned = Today

Call doc.save(true, false)

…

Call uidoc.refresh()

Call uidoc.save

Call uidoc.Close(True)

…

ocassionally, i see a copy of the document out on the database. when looking at the edit history in this doc, the copy gets created after this button is pressed. The copy is not a response document nor a replication confict. Can you tell me if there is a chance if having doc.save and uidoc.save in the same sub might be causing this? I have been unable to recreate the problem. Let me know if you need more clarification. Thanks.

Raymond,

It is certainly possible to have the doc.save but I think it’s best if you avoid it … for a lot of reasons.

In theory, this should never result in any kind of dupe documents, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened occasionally when the server was slow.

Raymond,

I’d say that it may have something to do with what you do between using the doc.Save and the uidoc.Save…you haven’t shared the total code with us, so it’s hard to see. But there may be something between those two calls that is causing this behavior.

Instead of uidoc.Refresh, do uidoc.Reload…

Just have a feeling there’s a difference…

Thanks all,

I’ll try doing a reload and it doesn’t do it when I’m doing it. But its hard to tell at this point whether that solves the problem. It just ocassionally happens. I dont want to share the entire code because it is pretty long. Any suggestions/ideas are still welcomed. Thanks.

Hi Raymond

Did you ever resolve this issue. WE are having the same problem with one of our databases that perfroms multiple saves ona document after the user has clicked on the save button.

I have this same problem and I’m not even doing anything special. Might be a different issue altogether. The code below creates two documents at the save method. I’ve stuck a unique number as you can see and indeed the two documents have different numbers! The function is DEFINITELY not being called twice i have made sure of that. It is very bizarre and driving me bonkers.

Public Function RegisterUser (doc As notesDocument) As notesDocument

On Error Goto procErr

Dim s As New notessession

Dim OU1 As String

Dim OU2 As String



Set nn = New notesname (s.CurrentDatabase.Server)

Set nab = New NotesDatabase (s.currentdatabase.server, profile.NABPath(0))

Set pubNAB = New NotesDatabase (s.CurrentDatabase.Server,"names.nsf")



Set nabdoc = nab.createDocument





nabdoc.form = "Person"

nabdoc.type = "Person"



nabdoc.lastname = doc.conSurname(0)

nabdoc.firstname = doc.conGivenName(0)

nabdoc.middleinitial = doc.middleinitial(0)

Select Case doc.Form(0)

Case "SPReg"

	OU2 = "SP"

Case "SReg"

	OU2 = "S"

Case "UReg"

	OU2 = "U"

End Select

OU1= Replace(doc.emailaddress(0), "@", "ATATAT") 



Set nn = New notesname (doc.conGivenName(0) + " " + doc.conSurname(0) + "/" + OU2 + "/" + OU1 +  "/iBookEasy")



fullnames(0) = nn.Canonical

fullnames(1) = doc.emailaddress(0)

nabdoc.fullname = fullnames

nabdoc.officephonenumber = doc.phone(0)

nabdoc.mailaddress = doc.emailaddress(0)

nabdoc.httppassword = doc.password(0)

nabdoc.companyname = doc.companyname(0)

nabdoc.officestreetaddress = doc.address(0)

nabdoc.officestreetaddress2 = doc.address2(0)

nabdoc.officecity = doc.city(0)

nabdoc.officestate = doc.state(0)

nabdoc.officezip = doc.zippostalcode(0)

nabdoc.officeprovinceregion = doc.provinceregion(0)

nabdoc.officecountry = doc.cntry_code(0)





Call nabdoc.ComputeWithForm(False, False)

nabdoc.unq = Evaluate ({@Unique})

Call nabdoc.Save(True, True)

Call nab.getview("($Users)").refresh()

Call pubNAB.getView ("($Users)").refresh()



doc.nabDocID = nabDoc.UniversalID

doc.DominoFullName = nn.Canonical



Call doc.save (True,False)



Set RegisterUser = nabdoc



Exit Function

procErr:

Call logError ("common scriptlibrary", "RegisterUser()", Err(), Error(), Erl())

Resume quit

quit:

Set egisterUser = Nothing

End Function

I LIED! I revisited my belief that I wasn’t calling the function twice and discovered that I was calling the script in WebQuerySave and also in the button that instigated the save on the web form. My problem is solved.

Is there any particular reason you’re saving twice? And is it creating two documents, or is one a save conflict?

Subject: RE: Duplicate documents using doc.save and uidoc.save?

the sub under the button does a whole slew of things along the whole process of the sub that justifies doing both the uidoc.save and doc.save. It will be complicated to talk about here. It does such as putting today’s date on the form and such things as changing one of the other date fields on the form.

As I mentioned, its no replication/save conflict. It is creating two documents. thanks.

I really have no idea, I have done this a couple of times but never had it generate multiple documents. My only problem has been save conflicts.
