Mail Conversion Utility

I’m not sure anyone will have an idea or not, but I thought I would try.

A third party utility was used to issue remote console commands to a domino server. The command being used is a load convert…

The server responded fine and the conversion works without a hitch.

Then approx. 100 different “load convert…” commands were sent to the domino server. About 1 every second. In the log, you can see each command being issued and then the line “mail conversion utility starting”. After getting about half way through the remote console commands, the “mail conversion utility starting” no longer appears in the log and the mail databases are no longer upgraded even though the commands are still coming in from the third party utility.

Is there a limit as to how many databases the conversion utility can process at one time?

I too noticed this same issue. Ran a collaborative project to convert approx. 400 mail files. After 279 files, the server finished and did not finish converting the rest with no error or explaination. After it was done, went back and ran the project again for the remaining files and they converted without a hitch. Pored over the log file and found no error. The project did load convert for all 400, just never finished any after the 279 mark. Wondering if there’s a limit myself now too.

Not sure if there is a limit but the best way to run load convert is to use a text file. You can split (for example) 1000 mail DB’s into 5 separate text files and run a convert task on each text file… it works very well.
