Solution: Array index out of bounds

Recently a customer of mine had a domino 8.5 server crash because Symantec anti-virus had an issue on the server which caused various issues with Domino.

The issue that I couldn’t find any information on in any of the forums was when user’s on the server couldn’t access any attachments in their mail files. The message I was seeing in the log was ‘The database D:\Lotus\Domino\data\mail\mmillar.nsf was unable to open or read the file: Array index out of bounds’ . DAOS is enabled on the server so I tried deleting and recreating the DOAS catalog, performing resyncs all to no avail.

Eventually I performed a ‘load fixup -J -D mail\x.nsf’ on the mail files which fixed the problem.

Hope this helps someone.

Subject: Not able to clear up issue

After a server move to new hardware to allow local drives for Transaction Logs, we have several mail file with this error:"The database \mail\x.nsf was unable to open or read the file Array index out of bounds"Tried various combinations of fixup and compact, but still having the same issues.

BTW, “load daosmgr resync force” locked all mail delivery until I killed it. Anyone find another solution to allow the user to access attachments from the DAOS storage?
