Locate missing databases in a Lotus Domino cluster

• Blessan V Philip
• Published: 10 Aug 2006

The following code – which I've tested it in Lotus Domino R6, embedded in a button generates a report in Microsoft Excel of all databases that are not present on Lotus Domino servers in a selected cluster.

1. The code first prompts the user to enter the Lotus Domino server name where the cluster directory (cldbdir.nsf) resides.

2. It then prompts to enter the number of servers in the cluster of which the entered server is a member

3. Finally, it generates reports in Microsoft Excel of all databases that are not present on all the Lotus Domino servers of the selected cluster.

Details of the missing Domino databases generated contains database file path, title and the servers on which it is present.
