Problem with a delegated user accessing calendar entries of a renamed user

5 Replies

Anyone not working with Lotus Notes/Domino can ignore this blog entry. For the rest of you, I’ve got a problem… (Just one? Ha ha!):

I have a user that moved to a different OU (via AdminP). This user had their calendar managed by someone else. For some reason, the AdminP request “Rename person in calendar entries and profiles in mail file” either didn’t happen or never got requested. (The OU change occurred over 30 days ago.)

I was engaged when it was discovered that the Mail file owner field contained the username from the old OU. Once that was resolved, the delegate could make changes most of the meetings, but there are some meetings/calendar entries (around 80 of them) that she cannot change. The delegate has manager access to the user’s mail file (don’t ask).

I know that I can probably just run a simple agent to change a couple of fields in the docs. The problem is that they are changing the ‘Sent by’ part of the doc as well. I found an agent that I used for for something else (Found on support.lotus.com – #1087948 Chair cannot make meeting changes after name is changed by AdminP). The problem is that it’s changing the ‘Sent by’ part of the document. Here is the agent code that I used:

Shared – From Action Menu – Run on All docs in view

Lookup := @DbLookup(“”:”NoCache”;”SERVERNAME/ORG”:”Names.nsf”;”($Users)”; @Name([CN];$Busyname);2);
@If(@IsError(Lookup); “”; @SetField(“$BusyName”; @Subset(Lookup;1)));
Lookup := @DbLookup(“”:”NoCache”;”SERVERNAME/ORG”:”Names.nsf”;”($Users)”; @Name([CN];From);2);
@If(@IsError(Lookup); “”; @SetField(“From”; @Subset(Lookup;1)));
Lookup = @DbLookup(“”:”NoCache”;”SERVERNAME/ORG”:”Names.nsf”;”($Users)”; @Name([CN];Chair);2);
@If(@IsError(Lookup); “”; @SetField(“Chair”; @Subset(Lookup;1)));
FIELD Principal :=Chair; SELECT@ALL;
SELECT @All

Does anyone have a clue to what I’m doing wrong? Is there another way I can do this that is more elegant?

Uncle-in-law in the hospital

My wife’s uncle got rushed into the hospital this afternoon. He’s had heart attacks before, but this one really took his toll. He’s still in the hospital right now. We stayed there last night until after 1AM. Needless to say, after 2 nights of very little sleep (Sunday night – Monday morning was a different issue), I’m exhausted! If you could, please keep my uncle-in-law and my wife’s family in your thoughts.

It’s time to mock winter! This weekend is the Michigan Brewers Guild Winter Beer Festival. What a great way to celebrate Michigan… with Michigan Beer! There will be over 25 different breweries and over 150 different varieties of Michigan crafted beer (check out the list here). There will also be entertainment and food is available for purchase. They even have a special ticket for designated drivers. Those that want to stay the night can get a hotel deal nearby.

The last two years were so successful that they moved it over to a bigger location. It’s being held at Fifth Third Ballpark in Grand Rapids… yes, it’s outside! Tickets for this go fast! I’ll be there! Spanky will be there! You should be there too! Get your tickets now!

A new chapter begins… TODAY!

On January 10th, 2008, my ‘brother-in-beer’, Devin Olson, posted a entry on his blog entitled “Bleeding Yellow”. It explained his love of Lotus Notes and announced his new position at Lotus 911. I posted a comment on it congratulating him and lamenting my plight. I went for an interview that day for a great job, but one that was not in Lotus Notes. I felt his pain. It IS hard to find a job in Michigan in Lotus Notes/Domino. I was doing what I needed to do for my family, even if it meant leaving Notes/Domino. Devin replied in the comments, “I understand about protecting your family. I’ll keep on praying for you brother.”

Well, because of your prayers, the prayers and thoughts of others, and some help from a different kind of Lord, I’m heading to my orientation at a new company this morning!!!

Yes, I’m working again, and I’m still using Lotus Notes/Domino!!! I’m still BLEEDING YELLOW!!!

I don’t know how much I can say about where I’m working so far. (I’ll ask at orientation.) I can say that this is a great position at a great organization. I get to stay in Michigan also.

I don’t want to take anything away from the other offers I received. (I was especially intrigued with one from a well known company in the Lotus community.) Everything was just a matter of timing, and during Lotusphere, while I was keeping track of everything that everyone else was doing, I was getting this great offer.

Hopefully, I will be able to speak more about it later, but for now, THANK YOU ALL for your efforts, your thoughts, your prayers, your words of encouragement, and for putting up with me. The new door opens today, and all of you were the key to unlock that door! Now let’s go start that next chapter, shall we?
