Notes Online module: error 525

Post Notes Online module: error 525 
Hello all,

we are installing online modules for Lotus notes=20

the customer has a NW 7.1 backup server running on solaris

the notes (version 5) are all running on windows 2000 or 2003.

I configured the client resource with saveset NOTES: and backup command
nsrnotesv. on the notes server I created the variables
Notes_ExecDirectory =3D D:\NOTES (where nnotes.ddl is located)
PATH =3D D:\NOTES; + rest of path including nsr/bin directory

If we do a scheduled backup, the backup fails

if we do a client initiated backup ( nsrnotesv -s backup-sever -R) we
receive the following message and nothing is backed up

nsrnotesv: Error returned for <name database>.nsf by Notes API, error =
=3D
525 (This database is currently being used by someone else. In order to
share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of a
File Server.)

the error suggest to set a NML_SKIPDBERRORS variable, to continue after
non-critical errors.=20

after setting this variable, we receive a lot of the same mesages (I
think 1 for each database file of the notes server), BUT aftewards
networker backups some of the databases.

BUT during that backup, the databases are not available (just like
during a normal file system backup, the users can not access their mail,
while their mailbox is backed up)
and also the scheduled backup does not work.

I found two related legato issues, but we tried them, without results.

backup using nsrnotes -s backup-server -x -R gave exactly the same
errors.
flusing the cash and even rebooting the servers, did not solve the
problem.

I think that the backup tries to access the files, like a normal
file-backup, which is not the meaning when they buy a online module.=20

does somebody have more experience with online notes modules?

Thanks

Bart

Solution Information

Title:Manual and scheduled saves of a Lotus Notes server fails with =

ID:legato81951
Solution Statements


Here is the solution:
For Manual backup use -x option:
nsrnotesv.exe -s NetWorker server -x Data_directory_path

For Schedule backup:
Populate client resource attribute, Application Information: MYARG =3D =
-R -x

Here is the problem or goal:
Error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (data_directory) by Notes API, =
error =3D 525 (This database is currently being used by someone else. =
In order to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server =
instead of a File Server.)'
Error: 'nsrnotesv: There is nothing to backup or system is down'
Scheduled save of a Lotus Notes Domino Server fails with error
Scheduled save of a Lotus Notes server fails with error
Manual save of a Lotus Notes server fails with error for some of the =
data bases
Rebooting the Domino Server did not resolve the errors
Stopping the Domino server, a backup is successful for all databases

Here is the problem environment:
Windows 2003
Lotus Domino server 6.5.3
NetWorker Module for Lotus Notes 2.2.1
Data directory not mounted on network mapped drive
Notes data directory is on a local file system
nsrnotesv -s server -b pool C:\(data_path) results in some of the =
databases completing successfully

Here is the cause:
The software is seeing the data directory as a mapped drive

Solution Information

Title:Error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (Notes_database) by Notes =
API, error =3D 525'
ID:legato25226
Solution Statements


Here is the solution:
Disable or reduce the database cache. To do this, copy one of the =
following lines in your notes.ini-file and start the Domino server =
again.=20

Disable the database cache:

NSF_DBCACHE_DISABLE=3D1
=20
Reduce the database cache:

NSF_DBCACHE_MAXENTRIES=3D n [where n denotes a number from 1 to 10000 =
(in R5) or from 1 to ~723 (in R4)]

Solution II

The database cache can also be flushed manually. The database vendor =
should be contacted before flushing the database cache. The command to =
flush a database cache from NOTES console is:

DBCACHE FLUSH

Note: If the above does resolve the problem, please reboot the Notes =
server.

Here is the problem or goal:
Error: 'nsrnotesv: Error returned for (Notes_database) by Notes API, =
error =3D 525'
Error: 'This database is currently being used by someone else. In order =
to share a Notes database, all users must use a Domino Server instead of =
a File Server'

Here is the problem environment:
Windows 2000
Domino server 5.0.9
Domino server 6.5
NetWorker Module for Lotus 2.1
NetWorker Module for Lotus 2.2
Notes server and client are installed on the same machine
Manual and schedule backups fail with the error

Here is the cause:
This error message can occur due to insufficient system resources.=20
There are many databases on one server. If a database is closed by the =
client, it may still remain in the Notes database cache, and as a result =
still occupy memory. By opening many large files at a time, it is =
possible to run into a memory limit and encounter Domino Error 525.

Post Notes Online module: error 525 
Hello,

Here we have:

- Legato 7.1.2 server / Windows 2000
- Legato 7.1.2 clients / Notes Module 2.2 / Windows 2000

No problems at all. The scheduled clients work as expected.

You need:

1 - A client resource for the normal backup (i.e. C:, D:, etc.)
- Directive for skipping *.nsf,*.ntf

2 - A client resource (named identically) for the Notes backup (i.e. NOTES:)
- No directive
- Same backup group as the normal client resource
- Backup command = nsrnotesv.exe
- Application information =
MYARGS=-v -x -C -F C:\Legato\nsr\applogs\nmlbackup.log -R
SKIPDBERRORS=Yes

3 - Definition of OS variables:

Notes_ExecDirectory=D:\Lotus\Domino
PATH=PATH + D:\Lotus\Domino;C:\legato\nsr\bin

If you want to use GUI client recovery you need too:

4 - Copy 'nsrdoclb.dll' to Notes directory (not Domino)
5 - Add this line to 'notes.ini' for Notes (not Domino)

AddInMenus=nsrdoclb.dll

If you don't want to have problems with the recovery (using GUI) of
databases, ALL of them MUST be under ...\Data directory of the Domino
server. If you have a FILE.DIR to relocate the databases in another drive
then you can't use the GUI recovery.

I hope this helps!

PS: After two years of working with this module I continue thinking that it
has been created "for being in the market" because everytime I have a
problem with it is a pain (for example, recently, two weeks ago, the backups
started to fail. We haven't changed anything in the client nor in the
server. The problem solved only after reinstalling the module and a
deactivation/activation of the Domino Transactional Logs :-(

Good luck!
