LotusScript Agent & Script Library
Roland STAUB
I am a Notes developper, and as long as I worked under Notes, I have
placed quantities of little functions and tools in a script library
called "Outils" (Utilities in French).
This works fine in all places where LotusScript can be used, even in
manually run agents.
The problems is that with LotusScript Agents programed to run
periodically on a server, I got "Cannot find external name: XXXXXXXXX"
for any function called in the agent and defined in the script library.
The facts :
- a Use "Outils" have been included
- the agent is compiled normally, no error
- the functions I want to use are defined once only (no function defined
in the agent called the same name). eg : the function "GetFieldText" is
only defined in the library "Outils"
Has someone had the same problem?
Is this even a common problem?
How can it be resolved?
Thanks for helping.
PS : The server is running a Domino 4.6.5 (Intl)

You must rename Outils to outils - script libraby name must be in lower
case.

Just today. Recompiling all the libraries that Use that script
library, and all the agents that use those script libraries solved the
problem for me.

Not true.

That TechNote contradicts your assertion. It shows a script library
in proper case: "Test Lib". The error it is pointing out is that the
developer named the script library "Test Lib" and then referred to it
in the agent as follows:
Use "test lib"
The solution offered was ACTUALLY to fix the error in the agent:
Use "Test Lib"
This is a better approach then changing the name of the script library
to all-lower-case as you originally suggested, since it recompiles the
dependent object. That is a superior solution to changing the name of
the script library, which would recompile the relied-on object. That
might not clear the error.

I resolved my problem by lowercasing both script library name and name in
use clause. And I remebered it worked. Someone asked - I tried to do my
best.
BUT - there might be another two reasons why this agent won't run: UI
functions used in code or agent signer don't have an mail box on a server
runnig agent.

Scripts that use this library ?
