Forcing dircat to rebuild daily

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

The DirCat task is an addon task which starts up with the Domino Server application.

While it runs ok most of the time, it needs to be told to rebuild the DirCat.nsf because for some reasons entries from source databases sometimes do not appear in the DirCat. Rebuilding the DirCat.nsf solves this issue.

In order to do this, I tried the server’s program document, but the server doesn’t like it (says the DirCat task is already running).

How can this be accomplished?

  • Would like to run something like this: “Load DirCat DirCat.nsf -r” @ 8am each day.

Hi

If it says that the task is already running you should make a program that runs a “tell dircat q” before you make the “load dircat”.

However, which is the command that you can run in the console that helps you?

You can make a program called server and with this parameters:

-c “”

That should send the console command to the server like if you were typing it in the console itself.

Hope it helps.
