LOTUSSCRIPT/COM/OLE CLASSES
Given selection criteria for a document, returns documents in a database that:
Defined in
NotesDatabase
Syntax
Set notesDocumentCollection = notesDatabase.UnprocessedSearch( formula$, notesDateTime, maxDocs% )
Parameters
formula$
notesDocumentCollection
This method is valid only for agent or view action scripts, and may be invoked only on NotesDatabase objects obtained from the CurrentDatabase property in NotesSession. In scripts that are not a part of an agent or view action, this method returns a NotesDocumentCollection with zero documents. When invoked on a NotesDatabase object that was not obtained from the CurrentDatabase property, this method raises an error.
How does it work?
This method works in two parts:
What documents are returned?
The following table describes the documents that are returned by the UnprocessedSearch method. Document selection occurs once, before the agent runs.
Meet the @function search criteria specified in this method
Created or modified since the agent last ran
Meet the search criteria specified in Agent Properties box
or
View action
For agents that run on new and modified documents, newly received mail documents, pasted documents, or newly modified documents, you must use the UpdateProcessedDoc method in NotesSession to mark each document as "processed," which ensures that a document gets processed by the agent only once (unless it's modified, mailed, or pasted again). If you do not call this method for each document, the agent processes the same documents the next time it runs.
UpdateProcessedDoc marks a document as processed only for the particular agent from which it is called. Using UpdateProcessedDoc in one agent has no effect on the documents that another agent processes.
In all other agents and view actions, UpdateProcessedDoc has no effect.
View actions
When used in a view action, UnprocessedSearch returns the same documents as an agent that runs on selected documents.
