LO39658: USER REGISTRATION VIA LOTUSSCRIPT- AGENTS NOT RUNNING ON REGISTR ATION CAUSES INCOMPLETE REGISTRATION

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The following code throws error "4005: Notes error: Invalid or
  nonexistent
  document" on server console when run in a scheduled agent.
  Tests have revealed that this only happens when the agent is
  executing on a
  server other than the registration server. Lotus Support SWAT
  reviewed and
  established that this is due to synchronization issues where the
  creation of
  the mail file on a remote server isn't completed at the time the
  
  NotesRegistration object tries to modify the mail file's owner
  field. In such a
  case, the above error is thrown.
  
  An enhancement is requested where NotesRegistration waits for
  the mail file
  creation to complete before attempting to modify it thus
  preventing the above
  error.
  Same code works fine when agent runs locally on registration
  server (less
  latency?) and worked in the remote constellation in V70 and
  prior releases
  (different time out, different process flow?).
  
  Dim reg As New NotesRegistration
  
  Dim dateExpiration As Variant
  
  Const NAME= "TEST2"
  
  Const FIRSTNAME = "Test2"
  
  reg.CreateMailDb = True
  
  reg.CertifierIDFile = "C:\cert.id"
  reg.CertifierName = "/OU2=test/OU1=test/O=test"
  reg.IDType = ID_HIERARCHICAL
  
  reg.IsNorthAmerican = False
  
  reg.ShortName = FIRSTNAME+NAME
  
  reg.MailInternetAddress = reg.ShortName+"@test.tld"
  reg.MailSystem = REG_MAILSYSTEM_INOTES
  
  reg.MailACLManager = "LocalDomainAdmins"
  
  reg.MailOwnerAccess = REG_MAIL_OWNER_ACL_MANAGER
  
  reg.MailTemplateName = "mail8.ntf"
  
  reg.MinPasswordLength = 5
  
  reg.NoIDFile = True
  
  reg.OrgUnit = "test"'reg.OrgUnit = ""
  reg.RegistrationLog = "log.nsf"
  
  reg.RegistrationServer = "remoteserver1/test"
  
  reg.StoreIDInAddressBook = False
  
  reg.UpdateAddressBook = True
  
  Call reg.RegisterNewUser(
  
  NAME,_
  
  "",
  
  MAINSERVER_,
  
  FIRSTNAME,
  
  "",
  
  "test",
  
  "location",
