Code / Description
Notes Agent Fixup, Version 1.0.0
(N)AgentFixup is a Lotus Notes 6 server addin which can be used to remove orphan agent data notes. Orphan agent data notes are horrible internal design elements which have become 'broken'. These broken notes can cause a wide variety of server and database problems, including extreme performance degradation, server tcpip stack corruption, random server crashes, etc.
TeamStudio released the source code and binary for a client tool which could be used to remove the orphan agent data notes in a database or directory. Eric Bickle of HealthSpace Integrated Solutions reengineered the source code to be more object-oriented and to be "server friendly". This new NAgentFixup program can be used on both Notes 6 servers and clients.
This modified source code is redistributed under it's original TeamStudio open source license. See license.txt for more information.
If anyone wants to fix/finish the -l and -L options for statrep.nsf logging, please do so. If you have any questions or want to show me any modifications you make to the code, please contact me at ebickle@healthspace.ca
I'd also like to know if anyone is successfull in getting this to compile under linux. I haven't tried yet.
Usage / Example
Server Usage: Load AGENTFIXUP [path] [options]
Client Usage: NAgentFixup [path] [options]
[path]: One database, one folder (recurses), or omitted (all, recurses).
[options]:
-a Remove all agent data notes.
-h Show this help menu.
-l Log detected problems as events to statrep.nsf. (not functional)
-L Log detected problems as alerts to statrep.nsf. (not functional)
-v Log/report additional information.

Hi Eric,
You are about the first person I've managed to trace who actually programs for Notes - using a programming language rather than database hackette tools. Is there any chance you could give me some help or point me in the right direction at least? I am trying to do an extension manager and having unbelievable trouble. Never used Notes, so it's a whole new area, which is bad enough, and then there's the terminology... At the moment I'm trying to iterate forms/views and their associated actions simply to get more understanding of how everything works. Whenever I try to access the second element of an actions array, the code throws an exception (typically "invalid rich text object"). However, if I start iterating at this element, it's fine, but the next one then throws an exception. I've tried everything including specifically seeing that every instance of a form/action object is destructed between calls, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be most gratefully received - before I tear the last of my hair out.
All this to find out how the heck I get hold of an action bar (form/view/folder/note/is it a bird, a plane?? There's got to be an easier way of making a living....

DO NOT USE THIS CODE. OpenNTF has locked me out from updating it - there is a bug in this code that can crash a server in remote cases. Please use Version 1.0.1 instead (posted in project area)
