DAOS error - dbfile.TMP was unable to write to file Document attachment is invalid

Hello everyone, if you can help me resolve the following DAOS mystery it will be greatly appreciated.

I am getting the following error when compacting a database to enable DAOS:

06/23/2010 05:51:16 PM The database F:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino\Data\mail\userdbfile7.TMP was unable to write to file Document attachment is invalid

My current environment is Domino 8.5.1 FP3 on Windows 2003 server. I enabled DAOS with the default settings except changed the DAOS base path to F:\DAOS, which is a local drive on the Domino server.

I have rebooted the server several times, the mail db is ODS 51, try compacting the database using the following command:

load compact mail\userdbfile.nsf -c -daos on

but always get the same error. This is the first database that I am trying to enable DAOS on my server.

The folder F:\DAOS exists and I am able to create files in it. I have also try setting the DAOS_ENCRYPT_NLO setting to 0 or 1, but no success.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ignacio.

Subject: solution

I had the same problem with Domino 8.5.1 FP3.The solution was setting DAOS_ENCRYPT_NLO=0 in notes.ini and restarting the Domino Server.

Remember that any change to DAOS settings require the Domino server restart.

I hope this can help you.

Subject: Reboot the OS

After setting the notes.ini seeting to disabled server encryption on the NLOs, a reboot of the Domino server was not sufficient to make it effective. I had to reboot the Windows OS (2003 Server) to make it effective.

After that, DAOS started to work great.
