What are the requirements for implementing DAOS? Obviously, the Domino server must be upgraded to 8.5. But does DAOS also require the Client and/or mail template be upgraded also?
Thanks.
Subject: DAOS Requirements
You need to
Enable DAOS in the Server Document
Enable Transation Logging
Make sure the ODS is 51 (Domino 8.5) - Add Create_85_Database=1 in the Server’s notes.ini
Enable DAOS in the advanced properties tab of the database
Subject: DAOS reqmts
No client side requirements, this is a server only feature.
Subject: mail.box dbs
mail.box database(s) must also have DAOS enabled if DAOS is to function properly for routed mails (I think the mail.box dbs must also be on the correct ODS)
Subject: Recommended, but not required
Enabling DAOS on mail.box(es) is highly recommended if you are going to be enabling DAOS on mailfiles as well. It’s not strictly required, but…you’ll miss out on some big I/O+perf benefits if you don’t. The end result will be the same (N mailfiles all referring to the same single NLO) but the path to get there is different.
If you have DAOS enabled on mail.box and on the mailfiles, the attachment will be converted to an NLO as the document is added to mail.box, and just the reference will be delivered to each of the individual mailfiles.
If it’s just on for the mailfiles, the attachment will be saved inline in mail.box, and as it is transferred to each destination mailfile, the attachment contents will be spooled into a temporary NLO file for MD5summing. After it is completely written and the final sum is calculated, it will be recognized as a duplicate, and discarded. (Obviously the first one will be saved, and subsequent ones will be recognized as duplicates)
By enabling mail.box, you avoid having the temporary files created (and the associated I/O) as the doc is delivered to each individual mailfile.
