Corrupt Database... Help!

Great subject eh?

So I have this Lotus Notes database, and somehow it got corrupted on me... We literally watched the database grow from 4 GB up to 64 GB in about 6 hours. Couldn't figure out how to stop it. Now I need to access the data in it, and can't open it up in the Notes client. And due to space limitations, no longer have it on the original Domino server.

I have a server I can put it on now, I just can't replicate it up to the Domino server because I can't open it in the notes client, not even to bookmark it as it tries to do a consistency check before adding it to the workspace.

Anyone have any ideas?

    I'd run Fixup, Updall, and Compact from the local workstation on it (nfixup, nupdall, ncompact). I amnot sure of the switches, or even if you need to use the switches.

    HTH.

    Hi,

    If you have enough space I would suggest compact -c -i. You will save some space, if it finish at all of course, because of the views and maybe you will be able to open ...

    Good luck!

Fun Little Earthquake

It's 1:45pm EST in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We just had an earthquake.  Not strong enough to damage anything, but enough that I watched people run out of buildings. What a fun Wednesday.

Error 217 - Error creating product object on Domino 64 bit

I'd like to share something with you.   An error that you'll get if you are trying to use ODBC with Domino 8.5.1 64bit. It starts out with an agent error of Error 217.  The text of the error is "Error creating product object" You can read about it here on the Notes/Domino forum . You can find the solution here as well . I guess I'm now waiting for Domino 8.5.2 for a solution for this.   It would have been nice to have had this in the release notes.  It would have help me greatly.

Lotus Trading Cards

I was painting the house last night, and my mind got to wandering... Bruce Elgort mentioned on Twitter last night that he was thinking of a VC fund for Lotus projects. So my mind wandered about that, and turned to how we present ourselves. I got to thinking that business cards are so ... old school. I think we need Trading Cards. So, here are the first few I've come up with.
