Hi,
Still i’m working on designer client.I want to make a database(form) for location users on their local machine and also for local IS teams which contain buttons likes compact,updall,fixup.Still I have compact command lotusscript and using it i have create a form which contain a button “compact ur database with percentage”.it can compact local machine database without any option such as -B,-B.I want to create a form which contain buttons like compact, fixup, updall with option,users simply click buttons and perform appropriate task with option on their local notes database such as mail.nsf.names.nsf etc.
If anyone have any idea,suggetion or lotus script then kindly post ur these in here and also can mail me:- hariom_pimg@yahoo.co.in

I’m not sure if creating a Database Template capable of running Database Maintenance Tasks is such a good-idea, especially considering that this functionality is built-in to the IBM Lotus Administrator client. Enabling Users to perform Administrative-Tasks can result in poor-performance, pseduo-hangs, outages, and other types of unexpected behavior.

Hariom,
This is not a good idea for multiple reasons: First and formost, this is not something that average users should be doing. The tasks that you mentioned, are such tasks that are typically performed by an Administrator or Administrator type, or at least someone with sufficient database privledges. Secondly, it just opens up a HUGE can of worms that could result in a ton of unpredictable activity, both within the databases, as even on the server. Bottom line: my advice is to stay clear of such. If such needs to be done. An administrator can run them manually or create a scheduled program to do it.
