NotesRepair
NotesRepair allows you to detect and attempt repair of problems with the Lotus Notes client configuration files. This application has the ability to compact your workspace and databases outside the Lotus Notes client.
Problems that commonly happen with the Lotus Notes client have the following symptoms:
- Memory allocation errors (often called the Red Box of Death)
- File handle errors.
- Database that displays or behaves incorrectly.
The actual problem may be caused by:
- Corruption of desktop file (desktop6.ndk)
- Corruption of personal address book (names.nsf)
- Corruption of configuration file NOTES.INI
- Corruption of other supporting databases.
Some of these problems are caused by a PC or file server holding the Lotus Notes data files crashing unexpectedly and not being able to correctly update and close files.
This application is well suited to Domino Administrators and Customer Support staff who want to provide their users with an effective method to diagnose and fix client problems.
