Domino -- Adding sign bit to item IconBitmap and other fields - What does this mean

Daniel Nashed  29 February 2024 10:14:14
The following output goes to console.log and is specially seen when you setup a Domino server using the new OTS feature.
But it also shows up when signing databases at runtime.

What does this debug output mean?

The output shows that the sign bit is added to an item of a document.
It looks like leftover debug without any context.
You neither see the database nor the design element.
Out of context information isn't not helpful at all, just fills out the log and might confuse admins.

It should be simple to fix. I created an AHA idea https://domino-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/DOMINO-I-2688 in case you want to vote for it.

But it looks like I am the only one who cares...
In case you have been wondering what this is, now Google will find it and this might reduce a support call or two ...

IMHO it's not completely useless. When somebody signs a database via Domino Admin and a AdminP request get created, this lines indicate that the request is being processed. And when no more lines occur, the request seems to be complete.

One could argue a "signing database XYZ" and "completed signing database XYZ" in the log would be more helpful... ;-)

@Thomas, thanks. I got the same feedback in the HCL Ambassador community and there is an update to the idea and link to exactly what you suggested.

The signing message you see is a low level debug in the signing code from what it looks like.

This can't be probably replaced 1:1 and needs a higher level log probably in the adminp code...

If you want to have that added to replace the debug messages, vote for the idea or the original idea linked.
