Compact is not executed

Hello,

We have a problem with users trying to compact the maildatabases. There compact request is being queued. I can see that in the logs and on the console. But it is never being executed. Even days later, the size of the DB has not changed (70 - 80% used for several users).

Why is that? They (mostly - we are changing that over the time to Editor) have Manager-Access.

To work around this problem we put the Parameter DEBUG_COMPACT_IMMEDIATELY=1 into the notes.ini (Server restarted). This setting is supposed to execute a compact request immediately, but it is still being queued.

What am I missing?

I can see in stats that the queue is never becoming shorter. "show stat update.pendinglist.processed.compactions " shows “3” for weeks now.

Is there a way to force queue processing?

Thank you for any answer to any of my questions.

Subject: Compact -B -S 10 does not work on all DBs

Also I found, that the nightly program “Compact -B -S 10” does not seem to work for all databases - some are skipped without message.

Executing the same command manually ìn the console for explicit databases or against a folder works → the databases which have been “skipped” by the compact program are compacted.

Is there a known bug in the compactor?
