Time is too far in the future

Since upgrading to 8.0.2 from 8.0.1 I am getting the following errors on the server console.

Database (C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\admin4.nsf) time is too far in the future.

Attempting to write invalid timedate to replication history of C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\events4.nsf: 04/08/2076 11:46:33 PM

Does anyone know what causes the forward date of 2076? I’ve check the OS and it appears to be fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What caused it would be up for debate. To fix it delete the Transaction Log files so they can be rebuild. Ensure the server does a controlled shutdown so that the transaction logs are cleared.

Hurry though as the wrong time could have a severe impact on your database consistency. AND, once fixed pull NEW replicas to the clients. If this is not resolved you may need to restore from backups.

Also, long paths in Windows will create issues for the full eclipse client as some of the path names exceed the maximum Windows can handle. The fact that you have used “Program Files” as a default for the server may/might/could cause additional issues. it is highly recommended to place the server in a shorter path such as c:\Notesrv and d:\Notesrv\Data.

Subject: Transaction logging is not enabled on this server

Hi Ray,

thanks for your post - I’ve checked the transaction logging settings on the server and it is disabled? Could it be anything else?

Subject: getting same thing

Hi,

I’m having the same problem after upgrading my admin server; two member servers are writing rubbish to the names & admin4 dbs. I’ve stopped the server, deleted trans logs and started it again, but am getting the same errors.

Any ideas?

Having this issue. Trying to simple replace the server replica with a new one without the problem. the server is in testing so it is not an issue to have an outage but would like to understand how it happened.
