ODS 48 or ODS 51?

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

We follow the instructions from the Help quoted at the end of this note. However, after the compact the ODS in the database was 48 and not 51.

Any ideas?

…

IBM® Lotus® Domino® supports file format, on-disk structure (ODS) 51.

See the Release Notes for version-specific information.

Upgrading from an earlier level of ODS to the current level

To upgrade from an earlier ODS to a current-level ODS format database in Domino, set the following file parameter in the NOTES.INI file on the Domino server or the IBM® Lotus® Notes® client:

Create_R8_Databases=1

When you set the NOTES.INI parameter for ODS, new databases are created using the current level. Use copy-style compacting to upgrade existing ODS databases to the current level of ODS. Use this command to run copy-style compacting:

compact -c

Subject: ODS 48 or ODS 51?

I am having the same issue.

I have 2 8.51 FP2 Clustered servers and all database are ODS 51.

But we work of of loacl replicas on our laptop hard drives and we can not get our local replicas to update from ODS48 to ODS 51.

I was told that the below would resolve my issue but it did not work.

  1.   Download and apply 8.5.1 FP3 standard notes client.

  2.   Be sure Create_R85_Databases=1        is your notes.ini 

  3.   Run ncompact –c against the db

Subject: Did you restart the server?

I think I had to restart my client after adding that parameter before it started creating ODS51 databases.Also, did compact -c finish successfully or did it exist at some point?

All else fails, call Luis or me. :wink:

Subject: Yes, we re-started the servers.

Hi Alex!!! Nice to see you here …

We have three clustered servers. We changed the parameter in all of them but we re-started this morning only two.

I ran the compact -c in one of the databases in the server to test the changes.

Why I need to re-start the client? The server re-start was done for one of the MS administrator because he alse need to do Windows update.

Thanks Alex.
