LO60436: NAMELOOKUP DEBUG SHOWS EXCESSIVE NAME LOOKUP ACTIVITY

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• A customer has been having slow lookup times, and the following
  debug was enabled:
  
  Client_Clock=1
  Console_Log_Enabled=1
  CLIENT_CLOCK_PROCESS=nlnotes
  CLIENT_CLOCK_MAINTHREADGROUP=1
  LOGSTATUSBAR=1
  DEBUG_BUSY=30
  Debug_Directory_Assistance=1
  Debug_Namelookup=1
  
  We would like to understand what appears to be excessive name
  lookup activity, even though dircat is in
  use, with location doc set to stop after first match.
  
  Here are some concerning entries:
  
  NAMELookup::<Lookup> PID:TID ( 6C4:2) start of routine
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Searching view '$Users' (1 of 1 views).
  NAMELookup::<lookup>Searching name='CN=Mickey Mouse/O=ACME' (1
  of 3 names).
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Searching DBIndex=1.
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> locate namespace in DBIndex=1,
  view='$Users'
  NAMELookup::<ReturnNameInfo> name='CN=Mickey Mouse/O=ACME' was
  found '0' match(es)
  NAMELookup::<lookup> No matches found for name 'CN=Mickey
  Mouse/O=ACME' in dbIndex '1'
  NAMELookup::<lookup> NumReturned=0, TotalNumReturned=0 match(es)
  for name='CN=Mickey Mouse/O=ACME'
  NAMELookup::<lookup>Searching name='CN=Mickey Mouse/O=ACME' (1
  of 3 names).
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Searching DBIndex=2.
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> locate namespace in DBIndex=2,
  view='$Users'
  NAMELookup[DirCat]::<LNABLookupInfo> Not able to follow links!

  NAMELookup[DirCat]::<LNABLookupInfo> Not able to follow links!

  NAMELookup[DirCat]::<LNABLookupInfo> Not able to follow links!
  NAMELookup[DirCat]::<LNABLookupInfo> Not able to follow links!
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Found '1' match(es) for name 'CN=Mickey
  Mouse/O=ACME' in dbIndex '2'
  NAMELookup::<lookup> NumReturned=1, TotalNumReturned=1 match(es)
  for name='CN=Mickey Mouse/O=ACME'
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Skipping to next view/namespace (stop at
  first match)!
  
  And
  
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> locate namespace in DBIndex=1,
  view='$ServerAccess'
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> locate namespace in DBIndex=2,
  view='$ServerAccess'
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> could not find namespace!
  
  And  Primarily .... when it can't find the user doing the lookup
  herself  .... don't
  
  NAMELookup::<Lookup> PID:TID ( 880:A) start of routine
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Searching view '$Connections' (1 of 1
  views).
  NAMELookup::<lookup>Searching name='CN=THIS USER/O=ACME' (1 of 4
  names).
  
  I'm also concerned about certain areas in the console log - for
  example:
  NAMELookup::<lookup>Searching name='CN=THIS USER/O=ACME' (1 of 1
  names).
  NAMELookup::<lookup> Searching DBIndex=1.
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> locate namespace in DBIndex=1,
  view='$Servers'
  NAMELookup::<LocateNameSpace> could not find namespace!
  
  
  "THIS USER" is the one doing the lookup and Notes debug states
  "could not find namespace!"
