var setdoc:NotesDocument = database.getProfileDocument("System Setting", "");
var server = setdoc.getItemValueString("MailDBSvr");

var web = setdoc.getItemValueString("InternetAddress");


var maildoc:NotesDocument = database.createDocument()//mdb.createDocument()  //database.createDocument()
maildoc.replaceItemValue("Form", "Memo");
maildoc.replaceItemValue("Subject","Request for Email Account By "+document1.getItemValueString('Name'));
session.setConvertMime(false);
var stream = session.createStream();
stream.writeText("<html><body>");

stream.writeText("<p>Dear " + "department reviewer" + ",</p>");
stream.writeText('<p>Kindly review this request by '+document1.getItemValueString('Name')+" on "+I18n.toString(@Today(), 'dd/MM/yyyy')+ ",</p>");

session.setConvertMime(true);

maildoc.replaceItemValue("SendTo",document1.getItemValue("Dep_rev"));       

maildoc.send();

Solution

  • You need to change the way you handle the server name. Notes URLs don't use the full canonical name for servers.

    So change CN=ServerOne/O=Dev to something the notes:// protocol does support. You could use:

    • the shortened name ServerOne%2FDev (use @Name[Abbreviate] and replace / with %2f)
    • the Common name ServerOne (use @Name[CN])
    • the DNS name www.yourserver.com
    • the IP address: 165.34.11.34

    In all cases you need to make sure that the server name gets properly resolved by the Notes client:

    • For the shortened name a connection document would do the trick (unless its the default server, then it is auto).
    • For the Common name it is either a connection document or the DNS resolved it (intranet DNS)
    • for the DNS name, its DNS (doh)
    • You really don't want to use IP addresses, but you could

    Hope that helps
