• Usage of the --formula option

    By Nick M Newton 1 decade ago

    I am trying to write a script that searches for mail items created since a given data from a particular person and have tried variations of :-

    --formula='FIELD Received > 01/01/2013'

    --formula='FIELD From contains "UNIX"'

    but each call returns either a java error or no data depending on the specific syntax used.

    Please could you provide some sample searches of a local mail replica

      Here are couple of samples, based on your use case.

      Mails after certain date:

      --formula="DeliveredDate > @Date(2013,11,1)"

      Mails from certain sender:

      --formula="@Contains(From;\"UNIX\")"

      And both together:

      --formula="DeliveredDate > @Date(2013,11,1) & @Contains(From;\"UNIX\")"

      • The formula query returns no emails

        By Nick M Newton 1 decade ago

        Hi,

        Many thanks for the examples provided. The syntax now appears OK, but no emails are returned. I have included below the output from the queries made via clenotes when using the two examples discussed together with a query using the --from function. As can be seen the Formula query returns no data whereas the From query finds emails. 

        I can confirm that the local replica used has been indexed.

        Note, I have echoed out the command line parameters in the clenotes.sh to ensure things are being passed correctly.

        Regards,

        Nick

        • Parameters

          By Sami Salkosuo 1 decade ago

          Hi,

          It may be related to shell script and the way Linux/Unix handles script parameters. They may not propagate correctly from shell prompt, to script to CLENotes.

          You could try to use the same commands/options without calling a script, just call java from shell and see if it works.

          stackoverflow has a post about similar issue (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4824590/propagate-all-arguments-in-a-bash-shell-script) and the suggestion is to use "$@" instead of plain $@ in scripts.

          • Search fields

            By Nick M Newton 1 decade ago

            Hi, thanks for your response. I am already using the "$@" for parsing parameters, and to make sure they are being past correctly I have echoed each one out as part of the script. I have however made some progress since yesterday, and am now able to find text strings found in the subject field.

            The particular mails that I wish to process automatically are sent be a group of people with a group alias appearing in the 'who' field on the notes mail gui. This mail alias does not appear to be present in the From field.

            Do you know where I would find the definitions of the field names used within mail, as knowing what fields to search in would be good.

            Regards,

            Nick

              By Sami Salkosuo 1 decade ago

              I'm using Notes client to check document fields. Open a mail document and use right-click to open document properties. Fields are listed in the second tab from left.

              You can also verify that CLENotes receives arguments correctly by changing write_log to true in config/clenotes.cfg. Log file is written in log-directory and arguments that CLENotes receives are listed there similar to line below
