Our users are constantly forgetting their HTTP passwords, which create calls to our Help Desk. Although users can simply go into the NAB and edit their own personal document, most of them are not aware of this and the Help Desk needs to walk them through the process on the phone. To help them with these calls, we added an action to our mail template that automates the process. Now, when the Help Desk does get this call, it is only a matter of seconds for the user to fix the issue themselves, and it is simple enough that an end user will remember the process if the problem occurs again. CODE: Action Name: Reset HTTP Password Sub Initialize Dim session As New NotesSession Dim db As NotesDatabase Dim NAB As New NotesDatabase("","") Dim PerView As NotesView Dim PerDoc As NotesDocument Dim UIWork As New NotesUIWorkspace Dim UIDoc As NotesUIDocument Dim Server As String Set DB=session.currentdatabase Server = db.Server flag = NAB.OpenByReplicaID( Server, "8025626E004232EE" ) 'specify the replica ID of your NAB Set PerView = NAB.GetView("PeoplebyFirst") Set PerDoc = PerView.GetDocumentByKey(session.commonusername, True) If Not (PerDoc Is Nothing) Then NewPass = Inputbox$ ( "Please enter your new HTTP password" , "Change HTTP Password") If NewPass = "" Then Msgbox "Action canceled by user." Else Set UIDoc = UIWork.EditDocument( True, PerDoc) Call UIDoc.FieldSetText( "HTTPPassword", NewPass ) Call UIDoc.Refresh Call UIDoc.Save Call UIDoc.Close If Server = "" Then Msgbox "Your HTTP password has been successfully changed. Since you are working locally, this change will take effect within minutes of you replicating your local Corporate Directory to your home mail server, but can take up to two hours after that to take effect on the data servers. Please contact the Help Desk with any questions." Else Msgbox "Your HTTP password has been successfully changed. This change will take effect within minutes on your home mail server, but can take up to two hours to take effect on the data servers. Please contact the Help Desk with any questions." End If End If End If Print "Done" End Sub http://searchdomino.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid4_gci760673,00.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ================================================= KNOW-IT-ALL QUESTION OF THE DAY! ------------------------------------------------- Quiz yourself to see how much you know about this week's Featured Topic: This is the name of a concept in which an enterprise consciously and comprehensively gathers, organizes, shares, and analyzes information in terms of resources, documents, and people skills. a. epistemology b. structured query language c.
