Get specific user information out of lotus notes without traversing all documents

Getting specific user information out of lotus notes

I had the need of reading from lotus notes specific user information, the solution i had before was traversing whole lotus notes document inside $people view and getting one by one document and comparing if this is the document i need But the problem with that approach was 1) It was not proper of having a loop 2) It was too slow and my web service was getting timed out as it was traversing

There is a better way to do it like following 

var session = new NotesSession();
session.Initialize(password);
NotesDatabase _serverDatabase = session.GetDatabase(serverName, "names.nsf", false);
NotesView _peopleView = _serverDatabase.GetView("$Users");
// Searching using email, if any document matches with this email string
NotesDocumentCollection tmpDoc = _peopleView.GetAllDocumentsByKey(userMail, false);

// There could be multiple enteries
for (int i = 0; i < tmpDoc.Count; i++)
{
    NotesDocument tmpDoc1 = tmpDoc.GetNthDocument(i);
                    // Take full name of a user when firstname+lastname+email matches
    if (firstName.ToUpper() == Convert.ToString(tmpDoc1.GetItemValue("FirstName")[0]).ToUpper() 
       && lastName.ToUpper() == Convert.ToString(tmpDoc1.GetItemValue("LastName")[0]).ToUpper() 
          && userMail.ToUpper() == Convert.ToString(tmpDoc1.GetItemValue("InternetAddress")[0]).ToUpper())
              // Do your thing here
}

Above you can see i am loading a view called $Users and trying to getAllDocuments having a key, in my example i am passing an email, but you can have anything there and that key would be searched in whole document, so if you are passing a text which could be in many fields, multiple document would be returned containing those matches in different fields, and you can compare you condition to make sure you get the right document out of those multiple returned documents in this way you can avoid traversing through all the available documents and instead find one, i thought it would be helpful for others hence sharing it ;-)

If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

I was recently installing the packages from one of the QA environment to my local Sitecore instance, "Media library package" to be precise, And it started giving me this below error One or more exceptions occurred while processing the subscribers to the 'item:creating' event Looking at the sitecore logs, it gave me more info on the context and the actual inner exception was following Solution: 'Name' should consist only of letters, digits, dashes or underscore Now it was evident that some of my file names were violating the naming rule, I could see in the log just before exception from where the installer stopped creating items, and that file name had round braces "(" and ")" at the end of it, with my surprise I was able to create the item with those name in the content tree, but below was the solution for it, Solution I am using SC 9.0.1 and in that Go to Sitecore.Marketing.config file residing in "App_Config\Sitecore\Mar...

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...
