We upgraded our administration server to R6.0.1 last week. This went pretty well, except for some errors on user’s mail files. Doing fixup or re-installing the template (‘replace design’, same R5 template) fixed this in most cases.
I’m upgrading another server this week, this time I want to upgrade the server to 6.0.1 CF1 AND I want to run nfixup, ncompact and nupdall on all databases before I start the server for the first time.
What should I run first? Fixup or compact? I read in some posts that fixup doesn’t like ODS 41; that would mean I’d have to run compact (-c)first, right?
Any tips, recommendations?
Thanks

Subject: after upgrade: nfixup or ncompact first?
IBM recommends:
nfixup <> -f -j -v
ncompact <> -c -i -F -K
nupdall <> -R

Thanks for your reply, but what does ncompact -K do? I can find all parameters in the manual, except for that one.

extends UNK table, that a database can contain and enables thus the DB to hold UNK tables bigger than 64K.
What the UNK table does (Unique Name Key):
it holds a list of unique field names, so if a document is added to a DB that contains “new” fields, these are stored in the UNK table. Imagine the UNK table having 64K and a document with “new” fields is added, these can not be added > problem.
Anyone correct me, but i think this restriction is true for Domino pre-4.6.7a. So: if you don´t have an environment with pre 4.6.7a servers, -K is not needed.
P.S.: This command is equivalent to the database property “allow more fields in database”

Thanks again for the information.
