Hi, have you ever experienced random unexplainable errors in any application you developed? These errors go from documents appearing to wrong users because they have the same first name (through embedded view - single category: @name([CN];@username)), to not allowing to save documents after using copytodatabase(unable to save the document the user just copied) when users have the required access. Other errors are: documents that users can’t view in a View, but can find them when they Search form them in the same View. All of these without any pattern. Maybe the databases are corrupted? Any advice on maintenance besides the basic fix or updall tasks? because that’s all our Administrator do. An additional note: when we developers change the design of a View, we often need to restart the whole Notes Client or apply ctrl-shift-F9 too see the changes running. Maybe that’s related? because users are using the same client. I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Subject: multiple issues / view rebuild issues
It sounds like there are multiple issues going on here. I don’t think a single problem nails them all down. However, it does seem like some of them would be related to view rebuilds. I would check the design of the views in question to see if they’re set to Refresh Auto. The related tasks on the server side are update and updall. Updall is run manually, and your administrator was right to use it. Update should load at server startup and run continually, updating views as needed or on schedule. It is possible for the update task to fall behind on a server with high update rates/heavy usage. (I would guess also for an underpowered server with normal usage.) Your administrator should look at the updater queues/queue length statitics to see if this is a problem. Information on how to do so is in the Admin Help.
