The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Lotus Runs Formula Agent on Selected Documents

Asked by abissa in Lotus Domino Email Server, Lotus SmartSuite

Tags:

Hi to everyone,

Here's my problem: I have two database, one old and a new one created using old one's template.
In the new one, I have added several fields in the Request form.
I have to import a lot of documents from the old one to the newer one.
Copy/paste works fine, yet I have to update all those documents to integrate the new fields.

I created an Agent called "UpdateRequest" which uses Formula Language.
One of the formula is a DbLookup.
The agent works perfectly on a highlighten document when, as Target, I select "None", but fails if I select "Selected Documents" (Lotus prompts a message saying that certain @Functions cannot be used when "Selected Documents" is the agent's target chosen.

so, I want to create an agent in lotus script that runs for each selected document my "UpdateRequest" agent. I did but got the same error message (@Functions cannot be used....)

I have tried putting my formula language in a script agent. yet the Evaluate function fails. It works fine with formula like @Word, @Contains...yet it fails with the @DbLookup.

If someone knows either how to Evaluate the @DbLookup formula in lotus script, or how make the formula agent runs on Selected Documents, it would be appreciated!! (otherwise I will have to launch the agent manually on each document...more than 3000...no way!)

for information, my DbLookup is used to retrieve from the Domino Directory the mail server dpending of the user name (i.e for a specified user, check on which server we have registered him) - so basically my DbLookup returns the name of the mail server.

Okay, if you need more info do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks by advance to all of you!Start Free Trial
