db.getallunreaddocuments

doc.markread

doc.markunread

Q&A: chap was asked how you specified which user's read marks you wanted to process. he looked flustered and said come to lab, so maybe there will be an update.

 

Notescollection enhancements

puts collection in first cola

 

cola.subtract(colb)

 

cola.intersect(colb)

cola.contains(colb) returns true or false

 

set cola = colb.clone()

col.stampallmulti(doc)   extension of stampall(doc)

 

Agent revamped:  inboxCleanupAgent

Removes older read documents from inbox, puts them in "all documents" - this speeds up mail box processes...

Released as part of server, uses new collection methods and unread methods.

Q&A: chap was asked how the agent worked with mailboxes that were shared, lotus bloke said it doesn't. :)

 

Replication Enhancements

Web Services

Web service Consumer as well as provider (R7) for lotusscript or Java.

Another reason not to learn Java :) .

 

Agent Tip

Target: None

Use "None" whenever possible as there is a performance enhancement.

 

Db Tip

Session.getdatabasebyreplicaid( replicaid)

Takes a string but will also accept a datetime object.

Will return a date stamp (which is what a replica id is) for a date. :)  Cool. @unique with no parameters mark 2.

 

There are more Java and Corba stuff and more calendar and scheduling stuff to come....
