IsOpen (NotesDatabase - JavaScript™)

Read-only. Indicates whether a database is open.

Defined in

Syntax

isOpen() : boolean

Legal value	Description
`true`	if the database is open
`false`	if the database is not open

Usage

A database must be open to use the NotesDatabase methods except: getCategories, getDelayUpdates, getDesignTemplateName, getFileName, getFilePath, isOpen, isPrivateAddressBook, isPublicAddressBook, getParent, getReplicaID, getServer, getSize, getSizeQuota, getTemplateName, and getTitle.

The following methods do not open a database: NotesDbDirectory.getFirstDatabase, NotesDbDirectory.getNextDatabase, and NotesSession.getAddressBooks. You must explicitly call NotesDatabase.open.

If a NotesDatabase object must be open but is not, the following error occurs: "Database has not been opened yet." This error does not occur when the NotesDatabase object is created, but later when the attempt to use it occurs. Possible causes of the error are: the database as specified does not exist; the user does not have permission to access the database; the database is damaged.

Examples

This button gets the result of isOpen before and after opening a database.

function isitopen(db) {
	if (db.isOpen()) {
		requestScope.status += db.getTitle() + " is open\n";
	} else {
		requestScope.status += db.getTitle() + " is not open\n";
	}
}

var dbdir:NotesDbDirectory = session.getDbDirectory(null);
var db:NotesDatabase = dbdir.getFirstDatabase(NotesDbDirectory.DATABASE);
isitopen(db);
db.open();
isitopen(db);
