Extraction of flat file in the Domino server file system

Hi ,

There is a database that contains documents with attachments and is hosted on a R5 server. There is a " server process" which is not documented which acts on the documents in the database , and saves the attached files in the documents in a specified folder in the Domino Server, and changes the status field value in the documents.

Any idea where such “server process” is defined …(in PAB, .ini or where ??).It is a complete mystery.

There is no documentation , and this process has to be duplicated when the server is upgraded to R6.5.2

When the files are being downloaded on a folder in the Domino server, it is registered in log.nsf … …it is pasted below.

abas\abasadm.nsf & admin\nars.nsf is the database where the files reside.

You should begin with looking at the ServerTasks=… line in the notes.ini file. Check also ServerTasksAt1=… lines.If you do not see anything suspicious in th enotes.ini file, check if there are some tasks specified in the Programs view in the Address Book.
