25.0. "Unseen count" by FNYFS::WYNFORD (The Rented Loony) Wed Feb 25 1987 11:56

    Silly question - despite the addition of new notes, mu update keeps
    showing no new notes! Anyone else with same problem?

25.1Fixed?VAXUUM::DYERRock the BellsWed Feb 25 1987 13:192
I've run a little command procedure that's supposed to fix the problem.
 <_Jym_>
25.2Fixed? Nope.FNYFS::WYNFORDThe Rented LoonyThu Feb 26 1987 04:007
    Sorry, but NOTES/UPDATE this morning (0330 EST cos I'm in France)
    still gave no new notes, even though yours was among those I hadn't
    seen!
    
    So, it is still not fixed... :-)

25.3Next GuessVAXUUM::DYERRock the BellsThu Feb 26 1987 15:277
Did you, perchance, switch your old notebook entry for the DOCUMENT notesfile to
 DOCUMENT_FT, like this?

   Notes> mod entry document/file=CLOSET::DOCUMENT_FT

     If so, the entry might be using the "unseen map" from the old file.

25.4Readers need to issue a commandDECWET::HUNTLiz HuntThu Feb 26 1987 20:458
    After the command procedure has been run to fix the file, any user
    with an unseen count stuck at zero needs to perform one additional
    step.  Open the conference, and issue the command:
    
    NOTES> SET SEEN/BEFORE=date-time
    
    The "date-time" should be a valid VMS time specification; perhaps
    use the last time you read the note file.
25.5unseen count never increasesGLINKA::GREENEWed Apr 15 1987 13:0817
    I *never* get an updated unseen count!  If I happen to exit a
    particular notesfile before reading all the notes and replies,
    then (and only then) there is a non-zero unseen count, and it
    does not increase as other notes and replies are entered into
    that notesfile.  Otherwise, the unseen count for all notesfiles
    always shows a zero.
    
    Yes, I have done the "set seen," and that shouldn't be necessary
    anymore once I am "caught up" on a notesfile.
    
    Any suggestions?  It is inconvenient to open all the different
    notesfiles just in case there are new items (no problem with the
    active files, of course -- there are *always* new notes!).
    
    Thanks,
    		Penelope

RE < Note 25.5 by GLINKA::GREENE >:

    Are you using the VAX Notes command UPDATE (or the /UPDATE qualifier
    to the NOTES command at DCL level)?  Your notebook won't show new
    entries until you tell Notes to check for them...

25.7NOTES/UPDATE did the trickGLINKA::GREENEThu Apr 16 1987 14:187
    Thanks, Nina.
    
    At DCL command I typed NOTES/UPDATE.  It did update everything (except
    unreachable nodes, of course), but then returned me to DCL.  Any
    way to UPDATE and remain in NOTES?

25.10Command procedure to update NOTESGNUVAX::LIBRARIANComposed of laughing particlesWed Apr 29 1987 16:5925
      I have my LOGIN.COM submit the following command procedure to the
      batch queue. This way, every time I login my notesfile is updated. I
      also have a symbol defined to submit that procedure from DCL level so
      I can update during the day and see the unread's in very busy
      conferences (like this one!).

    The following code is part of my LOGIN.COM and will update my notebook
    when I log in for the first time every day. Note that you should
    not logout before you get the message
    	Subprocess UPDATE_NOTES completed
    because logout kills all active subprocesses.
