Error Compacting

I can’t find any reference for this error:

[10099:00002-00001] 03/23/2004 15:07:33 Error compacting mail/myOU/myfilename.nsf: 02:41

I’m running Lotus Domino server 6.5 with italian service pack on Sun machines and this comes when i launch compact -c or -d.

Is there anybody that knows the meaning of this error?

Subject: The error is as follows…

#define ERR_BAD_PARAM PKG_NSF+65 internaltext(ERR_BAD_PARAM, “(invalid usage - see NSF documentation)”)

So the -c is a bad parameter. Try -C and -D instead.

Subject: -c…

According to this document (“compact options”) in the ND651 admin help, compact -c (lower case!) is copy style compact. There’s no -C (uppercase), apparently.

Subject: Interesting. ncompact -? gives this on my 6.5.1 machine…

Purpose: Compacts one or more database(s). Usage: Load COMPACT [path] [options]…

[path]: One database, one folder (recurses), or omitted (all, recurses).

[options]:

-A Archive and delete documents without compacting.

-a Archive and delete documents, then compact database.

-B Recover space and reduce file size (inplace-style).

-b Recover space without reducing file size (inplace-style).

-C Copy-style compaction.

-D Discard view indexes (copy-style).

So case sensitivity applies to the A and B switches. I thought it would with -C as well.

Subject: RE: Interesting. ncompact -? gives this on my 6.5.1 machine…

it isn’t a bad command line option error, i solved the problem compacting the database after removing “allow soft deletions”

Subject: The error is not due to bad command line options…

…if it were a bad command line option, you’d get the error “Invalid command line option” and the online help for compact. Try it with using a bogus switch like “load compact log.nsf -Z” or so…

Subject: Is my translation of the 02:41 error correct?
