Hi allI did some research but could not find anything extensive on the subject…
I am usually on Notes and Notes admin clients and when my cache reach 30mb, (which happens almost every other day), the client 851 starts acting weird. I get errors such as Not able to use Network Name, very slow responses and even some crash…
All the while, the simple solution is to delete the cache because it has reached 30mb.
I have a script that can clear the cache but I would like to know if this is a problem that will soon be taken care of (or if I am the only one having to delete that cache on a regular basis…)…
It is really annoying and right now, I have to push the migration of my users so they do not experience this problem…
Perhaps I will make that script clear the cache on a regular basis but would it not be better if that was an automatic thing that happened?
I rarely had any issues with 7 version and previous . But since 8.5, this is getting worse…
I have implemented a line in my logon scripts to have Cache.NDK deletedat Logon quite effective. Unfortunate that it has to be done but this file does not just mess with Lotus Notes It causes the entire system to respond poorly when LN is open which for all of our users is always. Definate Flaw in the system does anyone know of any benefits of keeping this file?
The reason the CACHE.NDK getting to 30 MB slows stuff down is that it has to determine which items it removes in order to cache the new elements you are accessing. Try going to the Workspace Properties in the client, go to the second tab and change the Cache Size from the default of 30MB to 256MB or greater if you have the hard disk space. This way you should not have to delete the CACHE.NDK OR clean out he documents there in. Just a helpful note. Hope this helps everyone out.
I have deleted it from time to time, but not recently, as it has shown not obvious effect in correct Designer flakiness like it used to. I have to wonder one of two things:
Vary rarely do we see a cache file that is not 30mb in size. When Notes starts acting strange we delete the file and upon restarting, Notes is happy once again. It doesn’t take too long for the file to hit 30mb again and we usually don’t have to delete it again.
