Restore corrupt document - "Note Item Not Found"

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello All,

I have a database for a workflow with a few hundret douments in it, and it works fine. But now I have a single document that I can’t open though I have full access to the Database - when I try to open it Notes says “Note Item not found”. I can see all the Items of the document in the View Properties, and they seem to be correct, I just can’t open the docuemnt itself! I tried fixup and compact -c, didn’t help.

How can I restore that doument or at least retrieve the data from it?

TIA,

Peter

maybe your view is corrupt. Tray updall command to rebuild your view en index.Load updall databasepath options

Hello Homan,I tried that, using -R wich should rebuild all views - didn’t help :frowning:

I can see the document in all views of the database, and I can see it’s data using View Properties-Document-[Tab2] - I just can’t open it…

Any further suggestions?

TIA,

Peter

Do you tried also to remove and create a new full-text index?

Hi Homan,

Yes, I did that - but I think Carsten might have a point (see his Posting and my answer in this thread)

Thanks anyway,

Peter

This sound more like you have a script problem in the queryopen or postopen event. Try running the script-debugger and see if it points out the error.

Hello Carsten,

I guess you have a point there, though I haven’t seen something like this before:

If I open any other Document, Postopen is called after Initialize ends. If I try to open this one I get an error Immediately after The end of Initialize, I don’t even see that PostOpen is called.

How can that happen and how do I solve that Problem?

(BTW: by now I have tried to copy the douemnt Item by Item using LotusScript - All Items are copied without any Problem - resulting in another Documnt I Can’t open.)

OK - Then check out, if the Postopen-event tries to access a NotesItem - if it does so, you can put an If-Clause around it and ask:If doc.HastItem(“ItemName”) Then

stringOut = doc.GetItemValue(“ItemName”)

End If

Hi Carsten,

I guess I didn’t make myself clear: Execution doesn’t reach PostOpen at all!

1.:Execution-Pointer (the yellow Arrow) stands at “End Sub” of Initialize (wich is empty)

2.: [F8] and BANG “Note Item Not Found”

I don’t understand how this can possibly happen. And if it was just this one Document it wouldn’t be such a problem. Sure, my Users wouldn’t like it, but what the hell, they can recreate the document.

BUT: What can happen once can (will?) happen again, and if I neither know where the problem arises nor how to solve it…

Do you have any more suggestions?

Anyway,

thanks a lot,

Peter
