We've had a scans database for years which uses embedded single-category views where the category is picked up from an environment variable containing the key. Works a treat (Notes Client) even though there are a large number of records in the scans database.
However on new machines, where no environment variable has yet been set, it now seizes up when opening the frameset containing the views. The little lightning symbol flashes showing that it *is* doing something. After half an hour or more it emerges and continues...
What was it doing?
The local notes log is flooded with entries like this:
31/08/2011 17:34:41 Begin MIME to CD Conversion (Process: ? (00004B0C:00000002), Database: CN=MSPreston/O=Moore_&_Smalley!!Scans.nsf, Note: 0000B076)
31/08/2011 17:34:42 End MIME to CD Conversion (Process: ? (00004B0C:00000002), Database: CN=MSPreston/O=Moore_&_Smalley!!Scans.nsf, Note: 0000B076)
31/08/2011 17:34:42 Begin MIME to CD Conversion (Process: ? (00004B0C:00000002), Database: CN=MSPreston/O=Moore_&_Smalley!!Scans.nsf, Note: 0000B07A)
31/08/2011 17:34:42 End MIME to CD Conversion (Process: ? (00004B0C:00000002), Database: CN=MSPreston/O=Moore_&_Smalley!!Scans.nsf, Note: 0000B07A)
Stuffing the correct environment variable into NOTES.INI is a workaround and it stops this happening.
But this has only started happening recently and we haven't AFAIK applied any Notes updates... Searching the net for the log message tells me that its a server router task thing... which it isn't in this case.
