Hi Daniel!

This is a very interesting article that will probably help to avoid lots of trouble!

Since we are already talking about fault-prevention:

I encountered another very unpleasant situtation a few days ago, when i expanded all the nested groups in our domino directory using some self-written lotus script code. The problem was, that the resulting field size of the members-field exceeded the dreaded 32K limit for some of those groups. Fortunately, only four groups were affected. There were error messages on the console showing replication problems regarding those documents, so i could easily track them down using the NoteID. Then, using ScanEZ, I searched and deleted the affected documents without creating a deletion stub, so they could replicate back into the database from another server. Now i'm wondering if there is some smart way to avoid saving documents in case that a fields' size, or even the document as a whole has exceeded the size limit?

@Patrick, I am not aware of any way to prevent this. normally I would expect that the document would not be written and an error would occur.

but it sounds like Domino is not handling this correctly at least in some cases. too large groups are an issue in general.

What I would do if you have some quite large groups (before you run into trouble) build a view containing the size of the "Members" field.

In general it is a good idea to keep groups small and also the usernames list for a user small. Long time ago I wrote a tool to generate the user-names list for all users and generate an alert when a size-limit is reached.

In your special case the script might have caused that no checking of the group size happened but on low level side storage of a document with this summary data size should have stopped.
