I first posted this to my Blogspot blog. The most
recent update is for a specific DWA 7 error - and I&os;m planning on adding some stuff from DWA 8. This post generally ranks
high on my search engine hits, so I like to keep it updated from time
to time. Hopefully it&os;s helping people get these issues resolved. If
you know of a resolution that&os;s not listed, please let me know! This
first entry is one that happens pretty frequently. An alternate title
could be "iNotes Warning" from previous versions. This document
contains two sections. One is a general information section and the
other is a section on steps to correct the error(hopefully). Please see
the bottom for a change log.
General Information:
The full error message is: "Microsoft
Internet Explorer Domino Web Access Warning. Sorry, we were unable to
process your request at this time. If you are unable to continue
working in your mail file, please dismiss this warning and then select
View, Refresh from your browser&os;s menu."
In Domino Web Access (DWA) 7.0 and higher, there is a new error message that reads "The
installation of Domino Web Access 7 Control has been blocked or
declined by the user. Do you want to use this on subsequent Domino Web
Access pages?" A specific correction for this can be to ensure
that the user has at least Power-User authority. Another possible
correction is to simply add the DWA server to Internet Explorer&os;s
Trusted sites zone.
Recently,
the top two on the following list have been what we have seen
to cause more issues. If the computers are external
(employees&os; home PC), then I would definitely bank on them having
spyware.
- Disable Pop-Up blocker - Clean up spyware (use application such as Spybot and/or AdAware) -
Add DWA server to Internet Explorer&os;s Trusted Sites zone (this may be a
good idea for any other intranet servers or via an Active Directory
policy) - Clear out Java Cache by running C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_0X\bin\javacpl.exe ---Click "Delete Files" then click "OK". ---*if there are different versions, do this for each version or uninstall older versions and leave only the newest copy. - Clear out Windows temp folders. --- C:\Temp--- C:\Documents and Settings\USER PROFILE\Local Settings\Temp --- C:\Documents and Settings\USER PROFILE\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files --- C:\Winnt\Temp --- *Clear out the Temp/Temp. Internet Files for each user listed in the Documents and Settings folder. - Reset IE to default settings. --- Right Click on the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop or go to Control Panel and open Internet Options. --- Click on the Programs Tab. Then click the Reset Web Settings button. Uncheck "Also reset my home page" then click "OK". -
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Disable "Use HTTP 1.1"
(you may need to enable it because sometimes IE just doesn&os;t like the
setting. I have actually seen it start working by enabling this option.) - Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Disable "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" - Download the MSXML 4.0 SP2. This link will get you to the download. I selected the msxml.msi. - Clear Browser Cache - Delete iNotes or Domino Web Access class file - If one is currently installed, upgrade to the latest Sun JVM - Windows Update (also verify that a recent Windows Update has not broken this!) - Load Convert, Fixup, Updall, and Compact against the mailfile - Reboot - Defrag - Run a tool such as Symantec/Norton WinDoctor
Change Log: 08/14/2006: Added information regarding Java Cache, Temp Folders, and Resetting IE defaults. 04/14/2006: Added information regarding technotes 1228480 and 1161877. Added
comment to Windows Update line to state that a recent update may be
causing the problem. I have personally seen this in 2004 and the link
in the text above is from April 2006.

Easy Way To Manage ACL or Advanced Properties For a Folder (SNTT)
Wed, Jan 27th 2010 10:58a Chris Whisonant One of the nice tricks with the Domino Administrator Client Files tab is the ability to update ACLs and properties for all databases in a folder and sub-folders. To do this, just right-click the folder and choose from the list of available options.

ikeyman Not Allowing 2048 bit keysize
Wed, Jan 27th 2010 10:58a Chris Whisonant Earlier today I was renewing the SSL certificate for BleedYellows IHS server. But I ran into a slight issue in that the IBM SSL Key Management utility (ikeyman) was only giving me the choice of 512 or 1024 bit key length. But now, 2 years later (wow, time flies!), GoDaddy requires 2048 or 4096 bit requests and does not accept a 1024 bit request. This is good to know, for sure!

How To Speed Up Your Domino Server And Reduce Corruption
Wed, Jan 27th 2010 10:58a Chris Whisonant This is definitely an age-old recommendation, but it is something that most customers have problems with. OS-level Antivirus. IBM has finally published a technote (1417504) a href=http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21417504Recommendations for exclusions when running Operation (sic) System Antivirus/a. This will definitely be handy to be able to show a customer direct instructions from IBM and not quot;justquot; recommendations from a third party (who sees this all the time). img [read] Keywords: domino

Don't forget to update transaction logging format in 8.5
Fri, Sep 25th 2009 12:00p Chris Whisonant For Domino 8.5 + there is a new notes.ini setting to create i/o optimized transaction logs for platforms with a block size different than the default 512 bytes. The notes.ini variable is: Create_R85_Log=1. With notes.ini variables, also make sure you're using the Configuration Document to set these instead of directly in the notes.ini.

How Do I Find Info On Notes and Domino Fixpacks?
Tue, Sep 1st 2009 10:40a Chris Whisonant After the release of Notes and Domino 8.5 Fixpack 1, there has been some concern expressed over customers and partners not being able to see the fixes at the devWorks fixlist site. If you go there currently, you can see the following releases listed: Notice that there are not any SPR's listed as fixed for 8.0.2 FP1, 8.0.2 FP2, 8.0.2 IFR1, 8.5 FP1, or 8.5 IFR1. But there is a way to see what you need for your upgrade planning. You need to navigate to a somewhat hidden "notices" view at this UR [read] Keywords: document
