Using my handy-dandy F1 keystroke:

"Profile documents allow for quick data retrieval, because they are cached while the database that stores them is open. Profile documents are like other database documents except they are somewhat invisible -- they do not display in views and are not included in a document count for the database. Users create profile documents by using an action button or agent you design that uses LotusScript or the formula language. "

Sub Initialize
 
	Dim s As New NotesSession
	Dim db As NotesDatabase 
	Dim doc As NotesDocument 
 
	Set db = s.currentdatabase

	'This will delete the Out of Office Profile.
	Set doc = db.GetProfileDocument("outofofficeprofile")
	Call doc.Remove(True)
 
	'This will delete the Calendar Profile.
	Set doc = db.GetProfileDocument("calendarprofile")
	Call doc.Remove(True)
 
 
 End Sub

The reason I am even documenting this is largely due to the Rules used in the Notes/Domino R6.5.1 mail template. Rules actually use the Calendar Profile to store important stuff regarding the Rules. If the rules become corrupt or god forbid the end user deletes the document (R6.5.1 issue, fixed in later releases) the rule will still work! Removing the Calendar Profile will remove rule details!

Another agent I like to use is one that can remove more than one profile document. I know the F1 gods told me that there is only one profile document, but what about those replication conflicts? How can you remove every single copy to the Calendar Profile document. Use the following code to guide you to euphoria:

Sub Initialize
 
	'Remove every copy of the Calendar Profile
	Dim s As New NotesSession
	Dim db As NotesDatabase 
	Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
	Dim doc As NotesDocument 
 
	Set db = s.currentdatabase

	Set dc = db.GetProfileDocCollection
	For x = 1 To dc.count
		Set doc = dc.GetNthDocument ( x )
		Call doc.Remove(True)		
	Next
 
 End Sub

Well, I hope this simple documentation can help the administrator out that is banging his/her head against the wall because they cannot determine why the mail file is acting the strange.

• Cool tricks with buttons.
• Randomly open various files based on an array
• And the thing I find most important is how to close a database when needed

Now why is the closing of a database so important? Well first off, I prefer that everyone knows how to do it. (IE: no more secrets) Secondly, this will allow you to do some work, see if the users has the right credentials and then let them in or close it. Even Managers or Designers won't be able to crack your database. Of course if you actually use the designer client you can remove or comment out the code.... But we are talking about using the Notes client.

So this super secret, this thing that certain companies think is the best kept secret in the world. (They pinched it from some one on notes.net!) You READY? ... Create a page with Call Source.close() in the PostOpen. That is the secret!!!

The exact code I used follows:

Sub Postopen(Source As Notesuidocument)
 
	Dim w As New NotesUIWorkspace
	Dim s As New NotesSession
	Dim db As NotesDatabase 
 
	Set db = s.currentdatabase

	tmp = Evaluate ( |@IsNotMember("[Admin]";@UserRoles)| )
	If tmp(0) And db.server <> "" Then 
		Call Source.close()
	End If
 
 End Sub

Please enjoy this code and example database. Spread the word, Clearframe is here.

I had very little time to blog any thing besides the quick article about Closing Databases... I hope to clean up this blog soon and not have tons of DominoGurus code littered throughout my design!

As of today we have 5 days to import this entire system... Sad, but true... The engineering team has not ask anyone what rules, policies, etc... The manager has already told the Operations team that they will get this handed to them with no training. Oh, I forgot... 200k messages a day!!! and to top at this company employees complain about a SINGLE email message! Let alone the hundreds we will get when they implement the new system.

Sometimes it feels as if the people using Notes are the worst enemies!!!

I have set a goal to setup a better, cleaner, smaller, more powerful blog than what is currently available to the Notes community. I have slipped in therecent days because I let my current job distract me from that passion. It also distracted me from the GREAT article that I need to post.

So I have some goals for the blog. And I have some goals for the design of the blog. The goals for the blog is to create, write, and document databases that help the Notes commuty work more efficiently. I will also help the Notes community work more efficiently with the Exchange environments of the world. One of the most important things I have seen in corporate America is the ability to work with other messaging environments. My past is completely made up of migrating users to and from the Notes/Domino world. I KNOW this needs to be documented better.

The goals for the blog follows:

• CSS Skins
• Portability - used as a blog or CMS
• RSS Feeder
• Migration from other blogs
• ability to create goals for the public to see ( this uses psychology to force my readers to push me when I do not focus

I have to run :peace

So I did my first post Saturday and my dear friends pinged me all day monday... You blogged!! Ha Yes I did. I needed to make the blog myself and I needed to make the posting accessible from the web. Now I can post from anywhere.

My next project is to make the blog post documents from emails. Don't worry. I will make a profile have a set of criteria s that will allow certain emails to post.

Next month I will start posting articles focused around migrations from Domino to Exchange. I know very very painful but I have to document stuff here at my current employer. So I might as well document for all to see and learn.

hmm... well as you see I just started my second semester of classes for my double Masters program. (MS and MBA) I am really looking forward to my classes!

Well I have to work! ]]> 01/07/2008 03:40:28 PM 0 http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/01112008015207.html Derik Bracke http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/01112008015207.html#c http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/01112008015207.html Yesterday I found out that my kid is about to go to KINDERGARTEN! Now it is not any normal school but a school to which you must apply and interview. I hope the kid gets into the school. completely stressing me out.

OK for less stressful stuff... I plan on building the blog into a tracking machine. I would like to create a goal page, food page and a weigh page. Once I build this design I will post it for people to download... thanks 2E for your help. ]]> 01/11/2008 02:46:49 PM 0 http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/02052008061421.html Derik Bracke http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/02052008061421.html#c http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/02052008061421.html Oh the fun I am having. I am hear sitting in the rain learning about how M$ works/monitors/checks drives. I love the brain washing.

MSI, JET, Perfmon, Datastore, Oh mail is not that important. Stuff they build into the user community while all the other companies cannot function with mail down for ONE second...

will keep you posted. ]]> 02/05/2008 06:18:21 PM 0 http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/05172008050410.html Consulting Derik Bracke http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/05172008050410.html#c http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/05172008050410.html ]]> 05/17/2008 05:04:10 PM 0 http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/11112008082856.html Consulting Derik Bracke http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/11112008082856.html#c http://bracke.com/852570590014A563/pages/11112008082856.html Life Goals
