IBM is hosting an Open Mic conference call with Lotus Development and Support Engineering to discuss Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS) on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 at 10:00 AM eastern US time. The call will last 60 minutes. Please dial into the call 5 minutes before the scheduled start. This conference call is designed to be an open question & answer format, so bring your questions. There will be no formal presentation.
You can pre-submit questions via the forum as response documents to this invitation. You can keep up with plans for future Open Mic calls and Webcasts at our Tech Exchange landing page: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg27011126
This Open Mic call will be recorded for future use, and will be made available on the web after the call.
You may find it advantageous to review the following material in advance of the call:
Is there a way to have DAOS automatically enabled in our new mail archive databases? We are using a archive settings policy to archive mail on the server.
What is the real impact on DAOS if an environment is running both MIME and NRTF mail formats? Will the DAOS repos have both attachment formats for both mail formats?
We ran the DAOS estimator, and saw how much space it could save us. But it brought up another point. Say we have an email that goes out every day, with an attachment named BOB.TXT. But the information in that attachment is different every day, sometimes by only the date in a heading. I don’t want DAOS to remove these attachments, but to know that they are unique. Do we have to manually exclude this attachment by name? IS DAOS smart enough to know that the files are unique? What if my hypothetical situation happens a hundred times a day with a hundred different emails and attachments?
A DAOS-enabled Domino server displays intermittent error messages stating that “File is in use by another program,” along with the name of a .NSF file and an .NLO file
I do understand that this error most often occurs when an misconfigured anti-virus software is installed on the server.
But we see this error even on servers, where no such software is installed.
What can I do to find out what causes this error? Any DEBUG parameters for this?
In addition; what is the best practice after such an error? Run a compact -c on the database in question?
I have pretty good luck on the Windows platform when I have this problem using Process Explorer (Process Explorer - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn) to see what processes have handles against specific files. Just run it and select “Find-Find Handle or DLL” and then type in the locked file name and it will give you any executable with handles against it. I’m sure there are easy command line tools to do the same thing in UNIX I just don’t know them off the top of my head.
We capture messages into the mail journal and then pull them out of the mail journal with P8 FileNet (IBM) for permanent storage. Will the attachments be pulled with the messages when P8 transfers those messages to FileNet so the attachments are available in FileNet ? Thx.
1.- When Mail file quota is enforced and DAOS activated, quota indicator should logical or physical size?
2.- Technote # 1381303 says:
“When DAOS is enabled, and “Check Space used in File When Adding a Note” is not selected in the server document, this issue does not occur.”
However the last paragraph also says:
This issue does not occur if the Quota enforcement value is set to “Check Space used in File When Adding a Note” in the transaction log tab of the Server document. However, users who exceed their quota will not be able to delete documents until after compaction.
What is the correct setting for the “Quota enforcemente value” ?
What exactly is daos.cfg used for?The file contains filecount and size of each subcontainer, but the information is only updated on server shutdown. So the information is never up to date.
Our servers are running Domino 7.0.3 w/OUT trans logging. Would you recommend we implement Trans Logging 1st on our current version, then upgrade to Domino 8.x, and utilize DAOS. OR, is it better to upgrade to 8.x first & then enable Trans Log & use DAOS? Thanks!
Subject: Third party wireless sync compatibility (not Traveler)
We use Commontime’s mSuite application to synchronize e-mail to wireless PDAs. Will attachments be available on a PDA using a third party synchronization product?
