Orphaned agent data notes in R7 (and R8?)

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

A long time ago there was a conversation about orphaned agent data notes and using an unsupported tool called compagnt to get rid of them (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/bef8b22e4c506b52c3256d7a006e63f8?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=-1#_Section1)

I had forgotten all about it until I started having weird problems in a database and something jogged my memory. The database in question is on a Domino 7.02 server, it had lots of orphaned data notes, and deleting them yielded a noticeable performance improvement and cleared up some other weirdness.

Does anyone have a cross-platform solution to this problem? Some people in the previous thread mentioned using DXL to delete them, but before I go that route I wanted to see if anyone had already done the work. I’m running Domino on Windows, Linux and iSeries so compagnt is of limited use to me.

Thanks,

Charles

Subject: orphaned agent data notes in R7 (and R8?)

I had opened a ticket with IBM/Lotus back in 2005 re: Orphan Data Notes and a TechNote I found on the subject that referred only to Notes 4 & 5.

I was using Notes 6.5.4 at the time.

The ‘resolution’, apparently, was to update the Technote with R6 & R7.

The Technote (4004199) does include a link to code to fix the problem, I have never run the code, it’s been on the back burner.

Here is a link to the technote:

The solution is to run compagnt, which is Windows only. I guess I’ll dive into the DXL when I get a chance.
