Date: 07/02/2006
NV Version: 7 onwards
OS Version: All
Application version:Lotus Domino V5x/6.5
Plugin version:3.3.10



Description:
When performing a lotus notes transaction log restore for a large number of databases (5000+)
the following error is generated by the lotus notes plugin within the netvault binary log for
each database affected-

Too many databases to recover. Will NOT Recover Database



Symptoms:

The plugin will complete recovery of the databases that were not affected
the plugin will then exit with a channel error
the job will finish with a status of Restore completed.
The databases listed with this error will have had no recovery performed on them.

The lotus notes plugin has a current limitation of 409,600 characters thay may be used to store
the database names to be parsed to the lotus domino server for tranaction log recovery.
The error message is generated as result of this limitation within the plugin being breached.

To sucessfully restore the databases that fail to recover with this error message create an
additonal restore job and manually select these database objects from within the selection set.

This limitation is due to be addressed within a future release of the notes plugin
