After upgrade some Lotus Notes from 8.5.1 to 8.5.3 FP1 recent contacts stop to work.

I research a lot about this problem and i found some good TN´s about recent contacts

I solve the problem using this TN and using ncompact -c -i , nupdall -R -X  on the local names.nsf.

Also i apply the Lotus Notes 8.5.3 FP2.

When troubleshooting a Notes client problem, a troubleshooting technique consists of performing a clean reinstall of the Notes client.  A clean reinstall of the Notes client is a logical next step if running setup again does not fix the problem.  This information is from TN1245159

To perform a clean reinstall of the Notes client, complete the following steps:

1. Backup key Notes files by copying them to a folder that is located outside the current Notes installation.  A list of key files to save or backup can be found in the Lotus Notes Help topic “Important Notes files to save or backup.”  For your convenience, this list is repeated below.

2. Uninstall Notes using the Add or Remove Programs utility (to remove Program files and the Registry entries).

3. Delete the Notes folder and all folders within it (to remove Notes data files).

4. Reinstall the Notes client.

5. Replace key Notes files (from Step 1) to their original location.


Additional Information

When Notes is uninstalled using Add/Remove programs in Control Panel, these things happen:

  • Notes program files (that have not been modified since install) are removed from the Notes directory.  
  • The Notes entries in the Windows Registry are removed.

The Notes folder, the data directory, and all files modified after the install (such as those created or modified during Setup or subsequently by a user) remain on the system. The goal of performing a clean reinstall is to remove any ambiguity about whether a file from the original install is causing a problem.  Therefore, you must be absolutely thorough when performing a clean reinstall.  For this reason, the removal of any leftover files is required.


Copy of Help topic: “Important Notes files to save or backup”

The following is a list of Notes files that you may want to save or backup in case you ever need to uninstall Notes and then reinstall it at another time.

Found it today from TN 1596479

If the Synchronize Contacts feature is in use in IBM Lotus Notes 8.x, then a user who uses a Location document to switch to another mail file can unintentionally replicate deletions to that other mail file if they have Editor with delete documents access.  Conversely, any delete operations in that other mail file will also propagate when switching locations back to their own mail file.

To be impacted by this issue, the following must be true:

1) You must have this option enabled: FilePreferencesContacts->’Enable “Synchronize Contacts” on the replication and Sync Tab’.

2) You must be editor (or above) with delete documents access to another mail file/mail-in database.

3) You must have a Location document that specifically points to the other mail file.

4) You must switch to that location.

5) You must have deleted a mail message that went to your mail file AND the other mail file, thereby sharing the same document UNID.

6) The message must not have been deleted in the other mail file
