Problem:
Domino desktop policy wrong behavior. Notes.ini settings
The custom settings of the desktop policy have a bad behavior:
We think the issue is related to the French/German language, and a bad code behavior with the word „Enforce“ (translated to „Appliquer“ in French and Zwingend in German)
For example : If I create a new destop policy. Add a custom setting, Notes.ini, and check the box „Appliquer“. the result will be MyItem=MyValue, appliquer
If I use this to set Ports=TCPIP and click on „Appliquer“, the result will be Ports=TCPIP, Appliquer.
This also causes the similar issue if the enforce is used for managed settings.
Customer has tested on English server NAB and the issue is not seen.
Symptom:
- The text of enforce in local language becomes the value of notes.ini parameter
- If the enforce is used in Eclipse parameter, the pref file name will contain the text of enforce in local language
- In worst case: some users reported that they are not able to „see“ Mail, Calendar, etc. (due to ViewsCheckMarkSel=1 has been enabled by desktop settings with enforce enabled)
Cause:
Dev has confirmed this is localization issue and that the „Forced „, should not be translated.
The defect has been logged in SPR # YGAO9EFSLN
Environment:
Domino server 9.0.1 with French/German pubnames.ntf
Technote: #1662451

Haha, the IBM translation robot at work again…
They should fire the entire team, not only for this one.
