Notes client Bookmark Export and Import database

From time to time I like to completely reinstall Notes, because Notes, like Windows, accumulate issues  (oh, "features" we call them, he he ...) over time. So just like reinstalling Windows once a year, I try to reinstall Notes too. One of the drawbacks with complete reinstallation, is that you loose settings, amongst them  Workplace and Bookmarks. This means that I have to manually recreate my bookmark folder structure, opening up a bunch of databases and remember to add them to bookmarks. Boring, tedious and error-prone.

I have therefore created the Bookmark Export and Import database, which let you export your bookmarks to a backup document, and then later import it again. Below you see a screenshot of my latest backup document;

Yup, nothing fancy in regard of design here The backup document contains two DXL files (which the Export agents creates for you) along with a bunch of other fields to keep track of all relations in the original bookmark.nsf file. Below you see the content of the About-document

How I fixed a problematic view with columns that did not update the underlaying viewdata anymore

Have you ever had a database where the view-data seems to get stuck? You have an initial design and when you drag the columns around, the underlaying data won't reflect the changes? Hey, you can't even add new columns to the view anymore? ncompact -D, deleting the cache.ndk, reverting the database down from Designer 8.5 to 7.02, reverting the ODS ... and still those b***stard columns won't obey your commands .... Read on if you want to see how I finally got it solved!

You have always heard that Lotus Notes isn't that  capable of storing millions of documents. While that is mostly true, this article will show you how I store more than 1.8 million files in a single database. Perhaps these ideas can be used by your applications too?
