I just upgraded my domino 7.0.3 server to Domino 8.5FP1. Now I did the update process where I changed the file format of the mail databases to ODS51. I noticed though this only changed the mailboxes. Do I need to do the same with the server names.nsf, admin4.nsf, logs.nsf etc…? Currently these are ODS43. If so how do I update these?
Thanks,

Subject: Copy-style Compact…
To upgrade the On-disk Structure (ODS) of Notes Databases which are nearly open all-the-time (i.e. names.nsf, log.nsf, admin4.nsf), run a copy-style compact with the Domino Server shutdown:
notes@somewhere:/notesdata> /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/compact -c
Subject: Yes…
After setting CREATE_R85_DATABASES=1 in notes.ini a copy style compaction -c or -C of the databases is needed… I like doing this with the Domino Server Down… You can launch multiple compact processes against different directories and/or use indirect files as well.
Subject: If you going to ODS51 why not compress design also
You can run compact to set the db property to use compress data. Use LZ1 and move to ODS51 all at the same time.To reduce the size of dbs on your workstation/server use:
NCompact -c -ZU -n -V
-c Copy style compact, used to put db in new ods format.
-ZU Converts document attachments using compression type Huffman to LZ1 if db property is set.
-n Compress design
-v Compress data
