I have a policy to archive mail databases by server
in Policy, field “Log directory” i have q:\archive
in criteria, field “Archive directory” i have q:\archive
the data directory is e:\domino\data
when i call the command “compact -a xxxx.nsf” the server return this error
Remote pathname must be relative to Data Directory
can someone help me?
Tanks

Sorry - are you compacting or archiving?
If compacting, I suspect that the problem is that you must issue the command using the complete path name to the mail database, which typically resides in the mail subdirectory of the server’s data directory, so:
compact -a mail\xxxx.nsf

I think the answer is in the error message: the directory you specify must be RELATIVE TO the Data Dictionary, not something absolute like Q:.…

Forgot to say: if you want to have the files actually in your Q:\ directory (for example) you can use directory links - look them up in Administrator help.
