Hi,
I’m trying to run an agent using the URL string notes://server/db/agent?openagent.
The agent does what its supposed to if I call it using http:// but if I use notes:// it doesnt work.
Any Ideas ?
Many thanks in advance.

I would be surprised if that were supported.
However, what does “it doesn’t work” mean?
If all else fails, create a form whose queryopen event runs the agent, then sets Continue=False?

Well, in R5, OpenAgent was one of the unsupported Notes URLs; I can’t see that this has changed in ND6.x, although as usual, the Designer Documentation doesn’t make this clear.

OK, since I was looking for this and found these tidbits that directed me how to solve this, so I wanted to post them so the next person can figure it out quicker…
Use the following URL to open a form in a local database:
notes:///SOT2.nsf/RunGotcha?OpenForm
I used the PostOpen event, but imagine QueryOpen would work the same way:
Sub Postopen(Source As Notesuidocument)
' this module runs a Notes agent and exits the form
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim agent As NotesAgent
Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
Set agent = db.GetAgent ( "Gotcha" )
Call agent.Run ( )
source.Close ( True )
End Sub
This runs the “Gotcha” agent in the Notes client.
Hope this helps someone some day…

Has anyone figured out how to pass a parameter to the agent?
ex. notes://server/db/rungotcha?OpenForm&Title=testing

notes://server/db/agent?openagent
Why do you have “notes:” in the front?
Maybe I am not following what you are doing,
I run agents using http://server/db/agent?openagent

He’s using a Notes URL. They’re distinct from what you’re talking about, which is a standard Domino url using http. URLs which use the notes:// protocol fire up the Notes client as opposed to accessing Domino resources.

It won’t work. You will get a messagebox to the effect that this is not supported.
As a workaround you could create a form or page that runs the agent in its PostOpen, then open the form/page instead. Of course the agent would execute in the Notes client, not on the server, unless you use .runonserver().
