I have an application database on an NT box that is becoming corrupt every morning. Someone suggested I take the server down, then run updall on all the databases because it has been years since that has been done. I am not familiar with how to run updall or compact when the Domino server is down - I normally run it from the console. Does anybody know how to do this? I am trying to search for it as well but no luck yet. Thanks!
Subject: Corrupt databases and updall
Hello Sandy,
Once the domino server is down open a dos command prompt
CD to the domino program directory. For example if the domino directory is installed in c:\Lotus\Domino you would type
cd c:\Lotus\Domino
once under the Domino directory run the task by specifying its name. If you plan on running compact type the following
ncompact -B mail/
that command above will run compact using the -B switch on all the databases under the mail folder. If you want to run compact on the entire data directory then just type
ncompact -B
If you plan on running updall and fixup just add an n to the name of the task.
so to run updall
nupdall -R mail/
I hope this information helps. Have a great day!
