@Mailsend on Domino 8.5 doesn't work?

After upgrading from Domino 6.5 to 8.5 we have noticed that the @mailsend function appears to not work within our web apps. For example a user opens a page which triggers an @Mailsend, but it causes a notes exception error (seen on the console) and the page fails to open. Other apps which use @Mailsend within triggered agents are just not sending the mails. Should this work on 8.5 or not?

Also whilst I’m here, after the upgrade our Reservations database can no longer find any info for room schedules. It finds users busytime no problem at all but always displays no info for rooms. Is this info stored in the busytime (clubusy) database or elsewhere no that the RnRMgr server task does some of the work?

Many thanks for any help on this.

Subject: Had same issue with @Mailsend

Hey Steven,

I had the same issue and found that the reason it wasn’t sending out the email was due to a Date/Time field that was being included in the Body of the email. Prior to 8.5 I could include the Date/Time field as it was, after 8.5 I had to wrap it in an @Text function.

So pre-8.5 it looked like this:

@Do(@MailSend(“Bunch of recipients”;“”;“”;“New Resignation”;"A new resignation form has been entered into the Personnel Hires/Moves/Resignation DB. "+ @NewLine + @NewLine + "Name: " + Fullname + @NewLine + “Departure Date: " + LeaveDate + @NewLine + “Priority: " + Level + @NewLine + @NewLine + “Comments:” + @NewLine + @NewLine + Comments + @NewLine + @NewLine + “In order to see the form, please click the link below.”;””;[IncludeDoclink]);

Post 8.5 it now has the LeaveDate wrapped like this:

@Do(@MailSend(“Bunch of recipients”;“”;“”;“New Resignation”;"A new resignation form has been entered into the Personnel Hires/Moves/Resignation DB. "+ @NewLine + @NewLine + "Name: " + Fullname + @NewLine + “Departure Date: " + @Text(LeaveDate) + @NewLine + “Priority: " + Level + @NewLine + @NewLine + “Comments:” + @NewLine + @NewLine + Comments + @NewLine + @NewLine + “In order to see the form, please click the link below.”;””;[IncludeDoclink]);

Hope this helps, thanks!

Subject: @MailSend Issues

I’m having the exact same issues. I have a computed field on a form that sends an email to an approver on save. It worked flawlessly in V7 but as soon as I moved the dB to a V8 server, the function caused an error on save. Is there something I need to change to make this work? My clients have come to depend on this email alert & they want it back. HELP!
