Recompile All

Posted by therightnotes on May 16, 2007

How often do you use the “Recompile All” feature in the Lotus Designer?  Periodically, I get error messages that pop up in a large database I support after design refreshes.  The error messages themselves on incorrect.  For example, I’ll get a “Duplicate puble name” error when there are no duplicates.  The only thing that makes it go away, it seems, is a recompile all.  My trouble with this “solution” is that it seems drastic; everything gets signed with a new updated date.  That means things that were working fine now appear as though they’ve been modified.  This causes more things to be replicated than is necessary.  Even more, though, the team of developers lose track of when something was last “really” worked on, which is often a useful piece of information.  So I’m wondering how often people use the feature and if others have had errors (and fixes) like I’ve described.
