Invalid collection data was detected

Since upgrading to 9.0 new “Warning (high)” shows up in DDM.

“Invalid collection data was detected.”

The affected databases are mail, roaming names.nsf and archives.

How to get rid of these messages and why are they showing up? All the databases seem to work without any problem.

What was the version that was migrated from?
Was there any platform changes?
Was there w32 vs 64 bit OS or domino changes?

Subject: Post migration errors

We’ve recently completed our 8.5.3 migration to 9.0.1fp4 and we’re seeing this error on our servers as well, but only those where roaming profiles are stored. It is happening only on the names.nsf in the roaming directories, and not on every one of them, only some of them.

I have created a new replica with no success.

The design of a database with the errors and one without the errors appears to be identical. Same views, with the same time-stamp and signing authority.

Running “updall -R” on the database initially reproduced the error in DDM, domino console showed the following, indicating that the view had never been built:

After that ran however a further “updall” on the database produced no further errors.

Conclusion? Not entirely sure, but it appears that the error was showing up only on db’s where the view index wasn’t built. Understandable to a degree, but highly annoying. Hopefully the errors are truly gone and simply will not re-occur tomorrow.

Subject: Same problem

We have the same problem.

We migrated from version 8.5.3 to 9.0.1 with the lastes fix pack. Our users are still running the 8.5.3 client with FP5, though.

There were no platform changes, and we are running on 64 bit Windows 2012.
