  • NotesDatabase.DBOPT_REPLICATEUNREADMARKSTOCLUSTER 70 replicates unread marks to clustered servers only
  • NotesDatabase.DBOPT_SOFTDELETE 49 allows soft deletions
flag
  • true to enable the option
  • false to disable the option

Usage

Compact the database to ensure that the option takes effect. See compact.

See getOption for getting a database option.

Setting DBOPT_REPLICATEUNREADMARKSTOANY true also sets DBOPT_REPLICATEUNREADMARKSTOCLUSTER true. Setting DBOPT_REPLICATEUNREADMARKSTOCLUSTER true sets DBOPT_REPLICATEUNREADMARKSTOANY false. Setting both options false means unread marks are never replicated.

The database must be open. Otherwise an exception occurs.

Examples

This button toggles the soft delete option.
if (database.getOption(NotesDatabase.DBOPT_SOFTDELETE)) {
	database.setOption(NotesDatabase.DBOPT_SOFTDELETE, false);
	requestScope.status = "Soft deletes turned off";
} else {
	database.setOption(NotesDatabase.DBOPT_SOFTDELETE, true);
	requestScope.status = "Soft deletes turned on";
}
