• Possible to upgrade the design of a single or few folders at one time?

    By symetrik design 2 decades ago

    This is not an OpenNTF Mail experience problem, but I thought I would post here since I'm sure that OpenNTF Mail experience users have gone through the whole upgrade process and may have encountered this.



    we recently upgraded the mail template for all of our mailboxes using the load convert -u (mailfile) * OpenNTF17b.ntf command.



    The -u command upgrades the design of the folders in most cases.



    However, we have some users who have so many folders and the length of the names of those folders is so long that we reach the 64k limit when you choose "Actions\Upgrade Folder Design" from within the mailbox.



    So we are in a bad situation.



    The "Upgrade Folder Design" action builds a list of folders to upgrade and gives you a dialog box with checkboxes and you can choose which ones you want to upgrade.



    However, we are bombing out on the building list process of the action because we are reaching the 64k limit.



    Unfortunately, we can't figure out any way to upgrade the design of the few folders that didn't get upgraded with the load convert -u command.



    Any ideas??

      ======

      I had the same problem and simplified the original code.



      Create an agent (formula):



      source:=@PickList([Folders]:[Single];"");

      @StatusBar(@Text(source));

      @Prompt([Ok];"Selection";@Text(source));

      @UpdateViewDesign(@Text(source);"XXX");

      @Command( [RefreshWindow] )



      XXX = name of the "template" to apply, ie ($Inbox)



      Agent Properties :

      On Event - Action menu selection

      On Target - none



      However, the user will have to use the agent on each folder. At least, he/she can do it when he/she will need to access a specific folder.
