Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Administration request messages

ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Administration request messages
The response Log documents in the Administration Requests database contain error messages that describe any errors that occur during the processing of an administration request. Error messages also appear on the console of the administration server. Administrators who want to be notified when one of these events occurs on a server, can create an Event Handler document in EVENTS4.NSF to define how they want to be notified.

For details on what the particular messages mean and for information on the corrective actions that can be taken, see the documentation in EVENTS4.NSF for that message.

This table describes the messages and, in some cases, the causes of messages that appear in the Administration Requests database. In addition, the table indicates the corrective action to take, where appropriate.
