Yesterday we upgraded one of our Domino servers to Domino 10.0.1 Fix pack 3. We already installed Traveler 10.0.1 Fix Pack 2 on the Domino 9.0.1 Feature Pack 9 in connection with the APNS P12 certificates. After the upgrade to Domino 10.0.1 Fix Pack 3 we noticed a strange notification in the status of Traveler, 1634: 002A-1DC4] 20-10-2019 14:42:03 Traveler: Installed Domino server version 10.0.1 does not match expected Domino server version 9.0.1. After a while this message resulted in a complete crash of the Domino server, Error message: PANIC: CheckTheProcesses - Process C: \ Program Files \ IBM \ Lotus \ Domino \ nTRAVELER.EXE (2908 / 0xB5C) child or 1092 / 0x444 has terminated abnormally. Process: nserver. Below further detailed information and the final solution.
On October 24 a very interesting webniar will be organized by panagenda, HCL Nomad and MarvelClient: Bringing it down to earth. It is the start of the second season HCL Master's Classes, The Ultimate Guide to Operating Notes. For more information see 
Yes, it is time for the next big event from HCL. About a year after the big release of Domino 10 day HCL announced yesterday the next huge event for 4th of December 2019 live from Tokio. Domino, Notes and Sametime V11 will be launched together with Connections V 6.5! The event will be live streamed and recorded and you can save your place 
The HCL Master Program has somewhat faded into the background in all the hectic developments of recent times. The nomination period is still open until October 31. On the one hand I am not going to ask you to nominate me in this blog post and on the other hand I am not giving you a list of everything I have done in the past year, as a result of which I may have to be nominated by you for HCL Master, as we have repeatedly seen in various blog posts this month. On the contrary. If you do not see any reasons to nominate me this year, I will not make a plea to do so. What I ask is to reflect on those who have done a lot of work for the community this year and to nominate these community members for HCL Master like for example Ales Lichtenberg. Why? Because these members have more than deserved this recognition. Due to all the busy work this month I have not filled in all the nominations myself. So start

Recently a number of new Agents and Scripts have been developed for the creation of XML files that are eventually imported into Exact by running an executable via a shell command. While testing the new agents and scripts I ran into the following error message when running the Agents: Disk I / O is a Restricted Operation (4179). The error occurred when writing the XML file to disk on the line Call outputStream.Open(pathname, "utf-8").There are two settings important for resolving this error. Initially the Agent security properties should have the run-time security setting 'Allow restricted operations with full administration rights' enabled which in this type of situation is generally necessary for being able to run the specific Agents. With this settings the agent can perform restricted operations with full administration rights.Also make sure the id used to enable (sign) the agent has been added to the 'Run unrestricted methods and operations' field in the Security section of the server document.
Last week I worked on a new script in which a Shell command is used to write an XML file to the Temp directory on the server and import the XML file into another software program by using an executable. The executable itself is called from the profile form in the Notes application. Based on this XML file data is imported to another software program after which a result XML file is generated. The result XML file is written to the same Temp directory on the server. On the server we then have the generated XML file which has been imported into the other software program and the result of the import in a corresponding result XML file. Next the result XML file is read by the new script which looks at whether the import of the data has not produced any errors. However, if the script attempted to open the result XML file an error message was generated, the result XML file could not be found. After checking the Temp directory it appeared that the result XML file had been saved in this directory and was therefore present. So the main question was why the script was unable to open en read the result XML file.
Last week I ran into the problem that the same values occurred several times in a generated Array. These multiple times occurring values in the Array then again caused problems in the remaining processing that took place in a script based on this Array. For clarity, an array is a named collection of elements of the same data type where each element can be accessed individually by its position within the collection. A LotusScript array can have a maximum of eight dimensions. The position of an element in an array can be identified by one or more coordinates called subscripts (or indexes).The number of subscripts necessary to identify an element is equal to the number of the array's dimensions. In a one-dimensional array, a given element's position can be described by one subscript; in a two-dimensional array, it takes two subscripts to locate an element. Anyway, to solve the above described problem it was necessary to ensure that based on the generated Array in the script containing values that occurred multiple times, a new Array was generated with only unique values which could be used in the processing of the remaining part of the script. For this I used two Lotusscript functions on the basis of which then in a very simple way a new Array can be composed with only unique elements. Below the functions Elements and Unique is used in my script to create the new Array.
This year can be concluded with incredibly good news regarding the future of XPages as a development platform. As you may know I wrote a number of blog posts this year about the future of XPages as a development platform including

2020 will again be a year full of great webinars. As indicated in my earlier blog post, 
For maintenance purposes a number of databases on our server had to be moved to another folder on the same server. For this move we have chosen to use AdminP so that we do not have to switch off the Domino server, have no downtime and to also be able to select some extra options for the final move of the database. Before the move of the database make sure all users are out of the database that needs to be moved. For more information see also 
B. Non Cluster Move Replica
C. Approve Deletion of Moved Replica
E. Delete Replica After Move
An excellent way to move databases to another location on the same server or to another server.
In the coming blog posts an overview, description and comparison will be given of the different search options within Notes. In this blog post a first setup regarding the new Domino Query Language (DQL), the basic setup of the DQL Explorer. Domino Query Language (DQL) is a facility running in Domino core allowing for a terse shorthand syntax for finding documents according to a wide variety of complexity of terms. It leverages existing design elements without the need to write detailed code to access them. The Domino Query Language (DQL) uses design data extracted from view notes. This information is stored in a special database called a design catalog and named GQFDsgn.cat. It is necessary to create a design catalog before any attempts to use DQL, using DQL Explorer, Node.JS, LotusScript, Java or the server console, to query any database. In this blog post a short description and setup of the DQL Explorer. DQL Explorer is built as a web-based UI using React on the front end and a Domino database for storage and some configuration functionality. It provides a means for non-developers to use Domino Query Language to easily search and return data from Domino databases.
3. Deploy the dqlexplorer.nsf file to a Domino 10.0.1 or 11 Server into the data directory root.
DQL Explorer is just a gateway to access other databases data. So you need to have DQL Explorer list some databases you want to use. Open the DQL Explorer in the Notes Client and add some databases in the Lookup Form. 
As a follow-up to my previous blog post, 
Yesterday, HCL released Language Group 2 for Notes Domino 10. The corresponding files can be downloaded from FlexNet.
