Can anyone let me know ways to know how to track a document that has been deleted from a database… and who deleted the document?

Existing one way http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/sandbox.nsf/ecc552f1ab6e46e4852568a90055c4cd/7a512c623a63621d85256a5d004a8257?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,deletion
I’m using it.

The best method is not to delete the document at all. Create a flag field labeled Trash. Set all your views so if the Trash field has a Y in it it won’t be visible anywhere. All deletions will be functions that set the Trash field to Y and disable actual deletions in the Database Script under Other/Database Resouces. That way you can always go back and ‘undelete it’ . If you have a large number of documents you can clean out the ‘deleted’ documents w/ an automated agent. It is safe and you won’t have to worry about the accidental deletions.

The built in Lotus soft delete would be another option, but I’ve not had luck enabling it in R6.

There are no logs for deleted documents. The DB property User Activity shows writes, but not deletes (deletes show as a write).
I’ve used DB event “QuerryDocumentDelete” to manually log delete events. I’ll either send an email or write an entry to an agent log.
