Local fix
General Comments: UNIX platforms are case sensitive. Domino server doesn't do anything to change that for file access. The fact that DbCache is case insensitive is a design issue and it is just a coincidence that user can open the database with incorrect case. Basically, users should always use proper case to access files if the platform is case sensitive. This applies to the whole pathname, not just file name. Additional Information from Development >>> This is functioning as intended. If the platform is case sensitive, Domino is also case sensitive. For a workaround: The real question is why are the databases getting created with mixed casing? If it is an agent, then it should be modified to change the casing to all lowercase. We really don't want to force a conversion of every filename to lowercase as the operating system distinguishes between the both. Also, there would be a performance hit in doing this as we would need to convert all file names to lowercase, as the mixed casing could be anywhere within the name/path. Starting in 6.0, soft links are supported - they may want to consider this approach.
