Hi, We found group of orphans documents in a restored database, is there a way we can reset the $REF field and put the parent document ID?

Thanks,

You could just update the $REF field with the UniversalID of the parent document. But I would suggest using the MakeResponse method of the NotesDocument class, then you know it get done properly.Not difficulat at all.

So I would need to create a script for doing that ?

Yes, of course. Unless you use a tool like NoteMan from Martin Scott Consulting, or scanEZ from Ytria, they have built-in functions to make document responses again. But you can write the script to do it in probably shorter time that it woudl take you to submit a Purchase Order to your accounting department. :slight_smile:
