LO52013: DNA NATIVE - SEVERAL ADMINP PROCESSES NEED TO BE MODIFIED SO THA T CLEANUP ROUTINES HANDLE THE REMOVAL OF REDIRECT FILES.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The concept of a redirect file was introduced in Domino v80.  In
  simple terms a
  redirect file is a file left on the server that has an extension
  of .nrf.  The
  goal of the redirect is to tell the client that a specific
  database has been
  deleted from the data directory and that the client can remove
  all links
  associated with the database from the workspace.  This includes
  workspace
  icons, bookmarks, and replicator page entries.
  
  In a test scenario that: configures databases, creates an .rtf,
  and deletes the DB's once the test is completed.
  
  a redirect file will be left
  behind on the file system, after the database is deleted.  The
  next time the tests are run there will be
  several AdminP request that will report the following error when
  processing
  their delete request  "Admin Process: Unable to create Redirect
  file for
  Database [some database.nsf]: File already exists.  This is
  happening because
  the redirect file is already on the system from the previous
  run.
  
  The test include:
  Test:     AdminP request reporting error:
  
  1) Delete Person Test   Delete Mailfile
  2) Move Mail File Test   Delete Mailfile
  3) NonCluster Move Replica Test  Delete Replica After Move
  
  The cleanup routines for these tests need to be
  modified to include
  the removal of redirect files.
