Programmatically determine if LargeSummary is enabled on a database

A couple of days ago, I wrote about how you can determine which database on a server has LargeSummary enabled using the show dir command from the Domino console.

You can use LS2CAPI to dertermine, if the flag is set. Here is the code

Public Type DBOPTIONS
options (3) As Long
End Type
 
Public Const W32_LIB = {nnotes.dll}
Public Const TUX_LIB = {libnotes.so}
 
Declare Function W32_NSFDbGetOptionsExt Lib W32_LIB Alias {NSFDbGetOptionsExt}_
(ByVal hdb As Long, retDbOptions As DBOPTIONS) As Integer
Declare Function W32_NSFDbOpen Lib W32_LIB Alias {NSFDbOpen}_
(ByVal dbName As String, hDb As Long) As Integer
Declare Function W32_NSFDbClose Lib W32_LIB Alias {NSFDbClose}_
(ByVal hDb As Long) As Integer
 
Declare Function TUX_NSFDbGetOptionsExt Lib TUX_LIB Alias {NSFDbGetOptionsExt}_
(ByVal hdb As Long, retDbOptions As DBOPTIONS) As Integer
Declare Function TUX_NSFDbOpen Lib TUX_LIB Alias {NSFDbOpen}_
(ByVal dbName As String, hDb As Long) As Integer
Declare Function TUX_NSFDbClose Lib TUX_LIB Alias {NSFDbClose}_
(ByVal hDb As Long) As Integer
 
 
Public Function NSFDbGetOptionsExt (hDb As Long, retDbOptions As DBOPTIONS)
    If isDefined("WINDOWS") Then
        NSFDbGetOptionsExt = W32_NSFDbGetOptionsExt(hDb, retDbOptions)
    Else
        NSFDbGetOptionsExt = TUX_NSFDbGetOptionsExt(hDb, retDbOptions)
    End If
End Function
 
Function NSFDbOpen( db As string, hDB As Long) As Integer
    If isDefined("WINDOWS") Then
        NSFDbOpen = W32_NSFDbOpen(db,hDb)
    Else
        NSFDbOpen = TUX_NSFDbOpen(db,hDb)
    End If
End Function
 
Function NSFDBClose (hDb As Long)
    If isDefined("WINDOWS") Then
        NSFDbClose = W32_NSFDbClose(hDb)
    Else
        NSFDbClose = TUX_NSFDbClose(hDb)
    End If
End Function

And here is how you can use the code

Const DBOPTBITS_3 = 3
Const DBOPTBIT_LARGE_BUCKETS_ENABLED = &h104

Sub Click(Source As Button)
	Dim hDb As Long
	Dim rc As Integer
	Dim sDb As String
	
	Dim retDbOptions As DBOPTIONS
	
	sDb = "serv04/singultus!!ua.nsf"
	
	rc = NSFDbOpen(sDb, hDb)
	
	If rc = 0 Then
		rc =  NSFDbGetOptionsExt (hDb, retDbOptions)
		If retDbOptions.options(DBOPTBITS_3) _
		And DBOPTBIT_LARGE_BUCKETS_ENABLED Then
			Msgbox "LargeSummary enabled"
		Else 
			Msgbox "LargeSummary not enabled"
		End If
		rc = NSFDbClose(hDb)
	End If
End Sub

One thought on “Programmatically determine if LargeSummary is enabled on a database”

  1. Hi Ulrich,

    Another way to get the same information by getting the value of the $LargeSummary item in the icon doc with GetDocumentById(“FFFF0010”)

    Regards
