Lotus Notes

As most of the developer notice , Lotus Notes having lots of formula and functions which are not documented in help file. Some of them we can find by some source , but who knows how many are still hidden.
Long time back one of my Lotus admin colleague had requirement to find out number of files shared over Lotus sametime chat.Fortunately She was able to catch one guy from IBM, He was employed at IBM. He had given some java files and instruction document, which was suppose to use inside IBM only. Along with that He told , I can't assure you whether it will work for you or not . Since we don't support this tool. I tried the code with Lotus Sametime but unfortunately didn't work.
Anyways, It was just an event which make me realize there are certain things which could be use only by IBM. Lets see some of the undocumented and rarely use formula/functions of Notes.

@GetMembers(List; Pos [, number])

E.g; @GetMembers(list;1) REM { list:= "A":"B" }

It returns "A"

@Text(@Now; "*")

It creates new replica ID.

@DbBuildVersion

Returns build number , For R8 it returns "322"

@LocationGetInfo ([Home Server])
@LocationGetInfo([CatalogServer])
@LocationGetInfo([SametimeServer])
@LocationGetInfo([NamePreference])
@LocationGetInfo([MailProtocol])
@LocationGetInfo([WebRetriever])
@LocationGetInfo([BookmarksFileName])
@LocationGetInfo([InternetMailAddress])
@LocationGetInfo([AreaCode])
@LocationGetInfo([UNID])

All of the above provides information from the current work environment

NoPersist option in SetProfileField / GetProfileField:
@SetProfileField([NoPersist];"Value to store";@Username) @ SetProfileField ([NoPersist], "Value to store"; @ UserName)

This is a neat flag used to set variables in a virtual profile document - it doesn't really exist. This is a neat flag used to set variables in a virtual profile document - it does not really exist. It's kind of like an environment variable, except instead of writing to Notes.ini, you're writing to a temporary client session cache.

This only works in the UI between windows in the same database for the life of the current session. This only works in the UI between windows in the same database for the life of the current session. Each database has its own NoPersist cache on the Notes client, so unlike environment variables, this will only work in the same database.

@DbCommand("Domino";["LoadAddressListByIndex" | "LoadAddressListByName"];"names.nsf"; txtTargetField; strMax; [strIndex | strKey])

If entries in the registry are available:
@RegQueryValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"; "SOFTWARE\\Network Associates\\TVD\\Shared Components\\VirusScan Engine\\4.0.xx\\"; "szDatVersion") @ RegQueryValue ( "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "SOFTWARE \ \ Network Associates \ \ TVD \ \ Shared Components \ \ VirusScan Engine \ \ 4.0.xx \ \"; "szDatVersion")
