"Invalid or nonexisting document" when replicating in R7

We have a problem opening attached docs on the server after replication from local db.CLIENT= Notes Rel 7.0 HF277 June 21, 2006

SERVER= Rel 701FP1 on AS400 V5R3. Upgraded from Dom 653

The problem has be reproduced as follow:

  1. create a local db (e.g. JournalTEST.nsf from template Std7Journal.

  2. create an excell spreadsheet (e.g. JournalTEST.xls)

  3. create a doc in the DB and attach the spreadsheet.

  4. save and close

  5. make sure the attached doc can be edited locally

  6. create a replica on the server

  7. edit the attachment on the server (may work the first time!)

  8. replicate back locally

  9. edit the attachment locally and save/close

  10. replicate change to the server

  11. edit the attachment on the server

At this last step, each time the error pops up: “Invalid or nonexisting document: Could not save to file C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\notesEA312D\JournalTEST.xls”

The doc gets corrupted. It seems it cannot ‘disconnect’ from the local temporary file created at first. Even when Notes client closed and workstation rebooted: same error on server.

Actions done:

run ‘load fixup JournalTEST.nsf -F -O -C -Y’

run ‘load updall JournalTEST.nsf -R’

→ fixup shows corrupted doc by NoteID

→ updall runs fine

Because the application worked fine BEFORE upgrading the Domino server from v653 to v701FP1, I tried to rename .nsf files to .ns6 on both client and server, but fixup on .ns6 doesn’t fully work: it doesn’t show the corrupted doc on the server while it it still there (cannot open it on the server)

Anybody who has experienced the same problem with attachments in v7+ ?

Have you gotten any help on this?

I am getting the same problem! OS is WIN2K SP4 and Domino is 7.0.2 FP1. Attachment can be PDF or XLS.

Fixup -F will delete all of the problem docs.

Fixup, -N no luck.

Compact, no luck

Updall, no luck

Manually replicate, no luck

Recreated the replica from Notes, no luck

Recreated the replica with OS, no luck

It has been working well even after I upgrade the server to 7.0.2. but happened 2 weeks ago without noticeable change to the system.

Any help will be appreciated.
