"Error in Agent" or "Error loading USE or USELSX" running Out-of-Office agent after upgrading to Domino 6.x

Question

After upgrading from one Lotus® Domino® server version to another (for example, 5.0.11 to 6.x), you find that the Out of Office agent does not work and produces errors written to the console and the log (if enabled). The error message in the Domino console is as follows:

    "Error in Agent ´OutOfOffice OutOfOffice´ calling script library ´Common´: Script library signer ´CN=ServerA/O=Widgets´ does not have proper rights
    Agent ´OutOfOffice OutOfOffice´ error: Error loading USE or USELSX module: Common
    AMgr: Agent ´outofoffice´ in ´mail\jdoe.nsf´ completed execution"
Maintenance on the database did not resolve the problem, nor did replacing the design or running fixup, updall -r, or compact.

Answer

Agent security rights in Domino 6.0 were revised to be more robust. This issue occurs when the signer of the script library does not have the correct rights to execute on the Domino server, and/or the script library has not been signed in Notes/Domino 6.x.

If the script library was signed using an earlier release of Notes/Domino, then it must be resigned using Notes Domino 6.x.

An additional consideration is whether the script library is signed by an ID that has the proper rights. If the agent utilizing the script library is designed to run on behalf of a user, then be sure that, if the Server document's Security tab entry for "Sign script libraries to run on behalf of someone else" is populated, then the signing ID is also included. The ID would also need to be present within the field "Sign agents to run on behalf of the invoker of the agent" on the same Security tab.

If the migration that causes the above error message to appear was from, say 6.5.4 to 6.5.6, and neither solution above seems to solve the problem, this could be due to the script library "Common" having been signed with an ID which is not listed in the Domino Directory (NAB). After creating this ID, the error disappears and the Out of Office agent work well again.

Lotusscript to establish ODBC connection:

The script, when executed from a button, will create a new record in a specified ODBC data source, attempt to save the new record and display a message indicating whether the operation was completed successfully. If the operation is not completed sucessfully, it is likely that either your data source is read-only or your ODBC driver does not permit updates to the data source. Important: Complete each of the four steps below before running the script. 1. Create a new agent and add the following UseLSX command to the Options event: UseLSX "*LSXODBC" 2. Add the following script to the Initialize event of the agent. NOTE: Do not add the 'Sub' and 'End Sub' lines. Dim ui As New NotesUIWorkspace     Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument     Dim doc As NotesDocument     Dim connection As ODBCConnection     Dim query As ODBCQuery     Dim result As ODBCResultSet         Set uidoc=ui.CurrentDocument ...

"Responses" and "Response to responses"

Lotus Notes has any kind of format of lotus notes document, but what about the “response” and “response to the response.” When you design the form in lotus notes application you can chosen: to create a document with the document format under the primary documents call “response document” or create a document under response documents call “response to the response.” Lotus notes develops can decide whether to provide some structure when you create notes documents. There are many cases that are more relevant documents are clear. Example: a data entry in a document, you can information to employees in the two documents to be attached to the first. Remember that you have entered in the accounting documents of each set a unique ID.  How to tie documents to respond to the main document is to add a field in response documents called $REF. $REF argues that ID is not taken into account. copies of the parent. How “responses” differ from “response to responses”? Do you have a hierarchy of do...
