I have a repeat where the value loops through documents in the current database, these documents contain a database and view name. The repeat then opens the database and view and retrieves data from within them:
var dbOther:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(null, doc.getItemValueString("Database"));
if(dbOther != null){
var lookupView:NotesView = dbOther.getView(doc.getItemValueString("ViewName"));
var viewNav:NotesViewNavigator = lookupView.createViewNavFromCategory(key);
}
This works fine on all browsers but if I view the xpage in the Notes Client I get the following error: Exception occurred calling method NotesDatabase.getView(string) null
I have tested that the dbOther variable is set by writing the Server and FilePath properties to a log. I checked that it could see the views by generating a loop using getViews and getAliases, again all view aliases were written to the log without an issue.
I have manually entered the view name in case the value was not being selected from the document correctly but received the same error.
Is there a way I can connect to a view in another database in XPiNC? I have found an XSnippet which allows you to dynamically add view data sources to your page, I think this may get around my problem but wanted to find out if there was an alternative solution before I re-write everything!
Try some of these other ways of getting a handle on a database:
This one uses "" instead of the null parameter to indicate current server:
var dbOther:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase("", doc.getItemValueString("Database"))
This one uses database.getServer() instead of the null parameter:
var dbOther:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(database.getServer(), doc.getItemValueString("Database"))
This one uses sessionAsSigner to get access to the database (instead of using the credentials of the current user):
var dbOther:NotesDatabase = sessionAsSigner.getDatabase(database.getServer(), doc.getItemValueString("Database"))
Are you using a Lotus Notes 8.5.3 client?

I'm trying to manipulate the Audit screen (SM205510) through code, using a graph object. The operation of the screen has processes that seem to work when a screen ID is selected in the header. This is my code to create a new record:
Using PX.Data;
Using PX.Objects.SM;
var am = PXGraph.CreateInstance<AUAuditMaintenance>();
AUAuditSetup auditsetup = new AUAuditSetup();
auditsetup.ScreenID = "GL301000";
auditsetup = am.Audit.Insert(auditsetup);
am.Actions.PressSave();
Now, when I execute the code above, it creates a record in the AUAuditSetup table just fine - but it doesn't automatically create the AUAuditTable records the way they are auto-generated in the screen (I realize that the records aren't in the database yet) - but how can I get the graph object to auto-generate the AUAuditTable records in the cache the way they are in the screen?
I've tried looking at the source code for the Audit screen - but it just shows blank, like there's nothing there. I look in the code repository in Visual Studio and I don't see any file for AUAuditMaintenance either, so I can't see any process that I could run in the graph object that would populate those AUAuditTable records.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...
If I had such a need, to manipulate Audit screen records, I'd rather create my own graph and probably generate DAC class. Also I'd add one more column UsrIsArtificial and set it to false by default. And then manage them as ordinary records, but each time I'll add something, I'd set field UsrIsArtificial to false.
You can hardly find how that records are managed at graph level because that records are created and handled on on Graph level, but on framework level. Also think twice or even more about design, as direct writing into Audit history may cause confusion for users in the system of what was caused by user, and what was caused by your code. From that point of view I would rather add one more additional table, then add confusion to existing one.
Acumatica support provided this solution, which works beautifully (Hat tip!):
var screenID = "GL301000"; //"SO303000";
var g = PXGraph.CreateInstance<AUAuditMaintenance>();
//Set Header Current
g.Audit.Current = g.Audit.Search<AUAuditSetup.screenID>(screenID);
if (g.Audit.Current == null) //If no Current then insert
{
var header = new AUAuditSetup();
header.ScreenID = screenID;
header.Description = "Test Audit";
header = g.Audit.Insert(header);
}
foreach (AUAuditTable table in g.Tables.Select())
{
table.IsActive = true;
//Sets Current for Detail
g.Tables.Current = g.Tables.Update(table);
foreach (AUAuditField field in g.Fields.Select())
{
field.IsActive = false;
g.Fields.Update(field);
}
}
g.Actions.PressSave();
i am using Strapi for a prototype and i am meeting the following issue. I have created a new content type "Checklist" and i added in it a relation property 1 to many with the User model provided by the users-permissions plugin.
Then i wanted to add some custom logic on the lifecycle call back, in beforeSave and in beforeUpdate from which i would like to access the user assigned to the Checklist.
The code looks like that:
{
var self = module.exports = {
// Before saving a value.
// Fired before an `insert` or `update` query.
generateLabel : (model) => {
var label = "";
var day = _moment(model.date,_moment.ISO_8601).year();
var month = _moment(model.date,_moment.ISO_8601).day();
var year = _moment(model.date,_moment.ISO_8601).month();
console.log(model);
if (model.user) {
label = `${model.user}-${year}-${month}-${day}`;
}else{
label = `unassigned-${year}-${month}-${day}`;
}
return label;
I call the method generateLabel from the callback. It works, but my model.user always returned undefined. It is a 1-n property. I can access model.date property (one of the field i have created) without any issue, so i guess the pbs is related to something i have to do to populate the user relation, but i am not sure on how to proceed.
When i log the model object, the console display what i guess is a complete mongoose object but i am not sure where to go from there as if i try to access the property that i see in the console, i will always reach an undefined.
Thanks in advance for your time, i use the following
strapi: 3.0.0-alpha.13.0.1
nodejs: v9.10.1
mongodb: 3.6.3
macos high sierra
Also running into the similar / same issue, I think this has to do with the user permissions plugin, and having to use that to access the User model. Or I thought about trying to find the User that’s associated with the id of the newly created record. I’m trying to use AfterCreate. Anyone that could shed some light on this would be great!
It's because relational attributes are not send in create fonction (See your checklist service add function).
Relations are handled in an other function updateRelations.
The thing you can do is to send values in Checklit.create()
I get the error "Exception occurred calling method NotesDatabase.createDocument() null" for the following:
var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase("", viewScope.targetDb);
if (db != null) {
if(db.isOpen()){
}else{
db.open();
}
} else {
}
var doc:NotesDocument = db.createDocument();
Comments:
The database db is available and "open".
The user has enough rights in the targetDb to create documents.
What is wrong?
I changed db.isOpen to db.isOpen(), according to Paul Stephen Withers tips.
And now db.open() gives the error "Exception occurred calling method NotesDatabase.open() null" although that I can get, in viewScope variables, the server, FilePath, etc.
Change
var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase("", viewScope.targetDb);
to
var db:NotesDatabase = session.getDatabase(currentDatabase.getServer(), viewScope.targetDb);
This works on the web as well as XPinC.
XPages isn't the same as formula, it doesn't like the empty string definition for the server name, which is contrary to the documentation which states (for the server parameter of NotesSession.getDatabase - javascript):]
The name of the server on which the database resides. Use null to
indicate the session's environment, for example, the current computer
Using null or "" gives error 500, it would appear.
The code from the question will work, if :
the if block is removed entirely
the viewScope.targetDb variable has a properly specified notes database file path, which exists on the same server as the current database
the current user has access to the target database ( by the ACL ), with the Create Database right
the target database has a Maximum Internet name and password above Reader as per #Paul
I suspect the cause is you're checking db.isOpen. You should check db.isOpen().
Worth bearing in mind is session.getDatabase(String, String) doesn't return null (unless you're using OpenNTF Domino API). It returns a Database object that is not open. So that if statement is irrelevant. Also best practice is to pass a server name to session.getDatabase() - you'll get a different outcome if the application is ever used in XPiNC with your current code.
Regardless of individuals' user access, "Maximum Internet name and password" on the Advanced tab of the ACL will override that. If maximum internet access is No Access, no one will be able to create documents. But I suspect that's not a factor here.
Pro Tip -- Get the Debug Toolbar and use that to print out messages to the XPage debug toolbar to see what is going on and if your viewScope variable is being set. Also, learn to use the try catch block to catch your exceptions and print out the error message to the debug toolbar. You will find your issue that way.

I have a combobox on my form that loads client names from a view using the format "name | UID" - this displays the client name on the form but saves the UID in the field.
I now want to use the UID to lookup the name for the client and save it in a field on the XPage that is not visible using the following code:
// ignore when UID is null
if (getComponent("parentUID").getValue() == null)
return false;
var UID:string = getComponent("parentUID").getValue();
var doc:NotesDocument = database.getDocumentByUNID(UID);
// now set your fields
document1.setValue("nachname", doc.getItemValueString ("nachname"));
document1.setValue("vorname", doc.getItemValueString ("vorname"));
I do this in a simple action attached to a button. The next simple action is a Save.
The code crashes with the following error:
Error while executing JavaScript action expression
Script interpreter error, line=8, col=42: [TypeError] Exception occurred calling method NotesDatabase.getDocumentByUNID(java.lang.String) null
I have copied the parentUID to a field on the document and I am getting the correct UID and the document exists in the database?
Any ideas?
PS: I am adding this to an existing application and the current document is not a response document - cannot change that unfortunately :o(
OK, I have found my problem - XPages returned the UID but it included a leading space. When I concatenated the values I did the following: "name | UID" i.e. I added a leading and trailing space to the pipe symbol to make the code legible - this was causing the problems.
It looks like you are missing the get.Value() in your getComponent line
Try getComponent("parentUID").getValue() == null
My guess is that this is causing the code to run when the UID is null. This means that the code is running when it really is null, and your effort to check for that isn't working.
Thanks for checking that.
Can you put in a print() statement and ensure that you have a value in the var UID.
Another thing, please capitalize the word "String" since java classes are capitalized.
I have an XPage that is doing an #DbLookup with a user's input and trying to find that value in a view in a different database yet on the same server.
I have already verified that the view is in fact sorted by the first column and therefore #DbLookup friendly. The following code below appears in the server-side Javascript OnClick event handler for a button on my XPage.
My problem is that the an error occurs when trying to assign the value of lRep to the 'firstNameLabel'. lRep is returning a null value from the dbLookup even though the a record under the 'FirstName' field exists with the key 'P301993'. This dbLookup should be finding a returning a single 'FirstName' result. However, it is not.
var resultLabel = getComponent("firstNameLabel");
var dbName = new Array(#DbName()[0],"UKCSandbox.nsf");
var lRep = #DbLookup(dbName,"customerLookup","P301993","FirstName");
resultLabel.setValue(lRep.toString());
Unless your formatting was lost in copy and paste, your code has flaws. This is not Java, this is JavaScript. Line endings matter and functions don't act on the object, but return a value. Also #DbLookup returns a string when you have exactly one match, so checking for string doesn't help you.
Your code should look like that:
var ukcNumber = Registration.getItemValueString('UKCNumber').toUpperCase();
var resultLabel = getComponent("ukcNumberLabel");
var dbName = #DbName();
dbName[1] = "UKC\\UKCSandbox.nsf";
var lRep = #DbLookup(dbName,"customerLookup",ukcNumber,1);
resultLabel.setValue((lRep) ? "Success" : "Failed");
Does that work for you?
Update: 2 things to check:
does the lookup work in the same database using #DbName?
XPages have the same security constraints as Java agents. Do you have enough rights in the server document to do a 'get value from other database'? Default is No!
Have you tried making the dblookup work outside of xpages, i.e. with ScanEZ or in the Notes client?
Check your ukcNumber variable so it contains a value.
Edit
Check so the user has rights to do the lookup in the other database.
Also try a similar code on an old Notes Form and see if you get the same result.
Why can't you use keyword '[FAILSILENT]' in your #DBLookup call. It'll return "", if no entry matches with your key.
If you still have issues, use SSJS/java code to see where it's breaking up.
