Strange error with Notification list

Cougie

GroupWise 18.3.1 Build:137846

One user reported an error where she was trying to add an account to the Notification List in Security Options>Notify.

However the when she added a particular account, the wrong account appears in the list.

When she tried again. The same 'wrong' account appeared again. Now this 'wrong' account is in the list 4 times.

When she tried to remove this account, it won't work. It will just re-appear next time you click into the setting.

The user's own name also appears twice on the list. Normally it's suppose to be just the once.

Screenshot:

The user uses GroupWise client 18.0.2.

I tested this on GW Client 18.3.1 and 14.2.3 on a different PC and it's the same behavior.

I tried an Analyze/Fix Database on this account but it didn't make any difference.

Please suggest solution.

Thanks.

    What kind of Analyze/Fix Database did you do?  Contents?

    A Structure and Index for the whole PO might be in order for this.

    Do you have a full set of scheduled maintenance running?  Make sure you check the logs for any reoccurring errors that may need a more manual intervention.

    I don't think there is a scheduled maintenance.

    Does the Structure and Index for the whole PO required down time?

    Thanks.

    I don't think there is a scheduled maintenance.

    Does the Structure and Index for the whole PO required down time?

    Thanks.

    As a general rule, you don't want to do a Structure and Contents on the same run.  You want the Structure issues all taken care of before you do the Contents.

    Ever since they got GWCheck into the POA, we don't need the PO down to run for most of them, though it works best to run when the system is more lightly used.  This is why just having then run on a regular schedule as per https://www.konecnyconsulting.ca/gw/gwmnt.html helps things all stay happy and healthy.

    Thinking future on this, the fix may well be the Domain|PostOffice Maintenance options starting from the Primary Domain, work through any other Domains, then on through each PostOffice.  First run the Validation, and if clear, that 'Rebuild Indexes'.  If Validation hits issues, read up on those errors, and make sure you have copies of the wpdomain.db and wphost.db files stashed away before fixes (along with good back-ups).
