Notes Agent Full Text Index mail database on a remote server not working

I would like to Full Text Index a mail database on a remote domino server over an notes agent. Unfortunately I get the following error message:

Error 4080 - Could not FT index database [NameOfDominoServer!!FolderName\DatabaseName.nsf]

My code is:

' build db connection
Dim maildb As New NotesDatabase( "", "" )
Dim cprofile As NotesDocument

Call maildb.Open(varMailServer, varMailFile)

' check if maildb is ft indexed
If Not(maildb.Isftindexed) Then
    Call maildb.CreateFTIndex(FT_INDEX_CASE_SENS+FT_INDEX_ATT+FT_INDEX_ENCRYPTED_FIELDS, True)
    db.Ftindexfrequency = 4
End If

What am I doing wrong or what do I have to take care about, that im able to FT index a database from a remote domino server?

When the mail database is on the same domino server, as the agent is located, the FT Index is working very well.

Solution

  • The creation of a new fulltext index is only possible on the local server using this method . This is also mentioned in the LotusScript help https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSVRGU_9.0.1/basic/H_CREATEFTINDEX_METHOD_DB.html So you basically have to create the fulltext index using an agent which runs on the same server.
