                           Requested Information

Request Title:

Show us which users are accessing a particular Domino database.


Provide a detailed description of request (including unique usage):

Often we are trying to perform operating system type commands on a Domino
database, such as saving, restoring, etc.  Having someone accessing the
database at this time may lock us out.  We try DBCACHE FLUSH but the
database is still locked.  We need a method of seeing who is accessing a
database so we may take steps to get them to let the database go.

Priority (check applicable priority)

___ Urgent
___ High
X___ Medium
___ Low

Why is it important to your business to solve this request?  What is the
impact to your company if IBM does not provide a solution?

Backup and recovery, implementing upgrades, etc to databases with minimal
disruption to users.


Select a requirement type: (Select one)

  X___ Long range or strategic (required to meet long-range needs)
  ___ Suggestion (you would like, but it is not critical)
  ___ Tactical (needed to solve a short-term problem)

Do you have a suggested solution?

Either upgrade the command SHOW DBS to show users of that database or
create a new command, perhaps SHOW DBUSERS, to list users currently
accessing a database.
Also need this function in Domino Administrator.  Currently you can go into
Server, Status and see a list of users and the databases they are
accessing, in the bottom window.  There are two problems with this.  One,
you cannot sort by Database(s) open.  Two the database name is not large
enough.  It only shows you the first 20 characters of the database.  We are
using a popular package called EtQ.  We have multiple divisions.  One
divisions database may be:  QUALITY30/SOLUTION/ARCHWORK.NSF.  However this
display will only show me QUALITY30/SOLUTION/A.  This is confusing when you
have multiple databases in this directory beginning with A.
