There is one question close to this howver I am using XP as follows:
lotus domino An internal error occurred during: “Collecting Backend Classes information”. java.lang.NullPointerException
It occurs creating and opening agents
Subject: Collecting Backend Classes information
I get this with pretty much anything LotusScript related. When it happens, sometimes closing all Lotus Notes windows and reopening Designer stops it. Doesn’t always work on the first try, but once it stops, it doesn’t come back as long as Designer stays open.
Subject: same Problem
I also get this message:
An internal error occurred during: “Collecting Backend Classes information”.
java.lang.NullPointerException
I do not have include the lsconst, but i refer to 3 other libaries.
I get this message every 5 minutes, when i open a other libary and my notes crashes very often.
That sucks.
Should i reinstall it? Because the first 2 it works perfect.
Subject: Me too
I get this too, on two different machines, both with Vista, though I think someone else reported on XP.
I get this whenever I open any lotusscript agent.
I don’t think Lotus reads this forum–has anyone reported to support?
Subject: Reported to IBM/spr KPAL7UPKE6
I reported this issue to IBM tech support and they let me know there is an spr for this problem. Thus far, this has not prevented me from compiling any code, and support claims there is “no severe impact”. If you have evidence to the contrary, you should contact IBM support and let them know.
Existing SPR is # KPAL7UPKE6
Subject: Workaround
Forgot to mention: IBM did suggest a clean install (ie, wiping notes files and reinstalling) might fix the problem, and this did indeed work for me. Problem seems to arise from an upgrade install.
Subject: Same problem (“Collecting Backend Classes information”. java.lang.NullPointerException)
I had this same error trying to open an LS agent or library. Even when I had the error it did not stop me to compile all the scripts and everything worked fined on the server side (web)
The error despaired when after I created a new LS agent. Just put whatever in the code and save it.
I’m running Lotus Notes 8.5.1 FP2 on XP and Domino 8.5.1 FP1
Hope this can work for you.
Subject: Collecting Backend Classes
I’m seeing the same error.
Running on Vista SP2 32-bit.
Subject: me three
Seeing it too when opening agents.
Subject: Me four…
opening one agent in particular that happens to use the LC LSX.
Subject: ScriptLib with LC LSX
I get this error when opening a Script Library that uses the Lotus Connectors LSX.
I’ve had it on occasion with other scriptlibs, but it’s consistent with the one using the LC LSX.
Subject: Resolved “Collecting Backend Classes information”
This is not a tried-and-true resolution because I’ve only encountered this issue once in an agent created in a previous version of Domino.
I resolved it by commenting out the Include lsconst.lss statement and all lines referencing the constants within. After saving the agent, I reopened and unREM’d those lines; it now seems to be happy. I hope it stays that way. Maybe this post will help someone else.
