The many and various ways of accessing Lotus Notes data with Ytria tools
Wed, May 16th 2012 3:10p Peter Woodford If you’ve been using Ytria products for any length of time you’ve probably noticed that the tools are designed to run independently of your current Lotus Notes session. As one user noted, this means the tools won’t tie up your Notes session while processing databases. With that in mind, we’ll be going through a number [...] [read] Keywords: lotus

Wed, Mar 7th 2012 12:10p Peter Woodford The way that Lotus Notes manages document relationships is quite flexible and powerful but it’s also an area where you might encounter some problems.

Mon, Nov 14th 2011 1:01p Peter Woodford Lately we’ve heard from a number of customers who’ve been struggling with ever-more complicated group situations on their server NABs (Notes Address Books).

Get the last ‘lulz’: Verify Lotus Domino security with your Ytria toolkit
Thu, Sep 29th 2011 3:17p Peter Woodford A spate of major digital security breaches have made worldwide headlines in the past year. In some cases, the cyber attacks were undertaken by politically motivated ‘hacktivists’; others attacks were criminal in nature; in other cases, the perps were arguably mischief-makers above all else. These events must have been miserable for the IT staffers at [...] [read] Keywords: domino

Keep track of Shared Actions usage in Lotus Notes applications with actionBarEZ
Wed, Nov 3rd 2010 6:09p Peter Woodford In these days of XPages and Web-access Notes applications one might inclined to feel that Lotus Notes Action Bars are hopelessly passé. But even if that it were so, what about all those legacy Notes apps out there that still need maintenance#8211;they#8217;re chock full of Action Bars?

Back from the NSF grave: How you can (sometimes) restore deleted Lotus Notes documents
Thu, Sep 23rd 2010 12:25p Peter Woodford Notes/Domino data loss is never fun. It#8217;s bad enough when you lose data because of random bad luck (say, cosmic rays decide to bombard your hard disk sectors), but it#8217;s particularly infuriating when it#8217;s caused by the pure carelessness of others. Yet every so often there#8217;s a happy ending to these apparent IT catastrophes.

A quick way to uncover (and fill) security holes on Domino servers using aclEZ
Tue, Jun 22nd 2010 1:35p Peter Woodford One of the nicest things about aclEZ#8216;s grouping grid interface is that is that it allows you sort and filter live information on all the Lotus Notes database ACLs on a server (even for databases that aren#8217;t included in the catalog.nsf file). Here#8217;s a simple-yet-practical application of this feature: Using aclEZ#8217;s Grouping Grid to Spot [...]img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/YtriaTechLab/~4/R5s3l3rh-tA" height="1" width="1"/ [read] Keywords: domino

How to clean up a Lotus Notes out-of-office agent mess with agentEZ
Tue, May 18th 2010 4:40p Peter Woodford One of our customers recently used our agentEZ tool in an interesting way to deal with a big out-of-office agent problem. We realize that the Out of Office agent is already ancient history to folks who#8217;ve switched to the Out of Office service (introduced in R8).

When the dreaded “Field is too large (32K)” Lotus Notes error strikes…
Fri, Apr 23rd 2010 12:13p Peter Woodford There are some problems in life—and in Lotus Notes—that defy easy solutions. And one such problem is the #8220;Field is too large (32K)#8221; error, which affects documents whenever the size of the Summary data for a field grows beyond the limit set in Notes*. *The Lotus Notes Summary data limit is 32K for a single [...]img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/YtriaTechLab/~4/x_gYKLfKq4k" height="1" width="1"/ [read] Keywords: lotus

A fast way to change NSF Replica IDs: Often a handy time-saver (and occasionally a life-saver)
Tue, Mar 23rd 2010 2:58p Peter Woodford Try to picture yourself in this situation: An end-user alerts you to the fact that they just did something very bad to a Lotus Notes database—and somehow accidentally deleted hundreds of essential documents.
