Ok folks, I seem to have stumped IBM on this one and wanted to bounce this off the forums members to see if anyone else has encountered this. We’re testing our upgrade to Domino 8.5 at this time. Part of this, includes our first ever implementation of transaction logging, archive style. We’ve run into a problem whereby, each time a domino restarts, the transaction logs get deleted and re-created, generating new DBIID’s for all logged databases and forcing full backups to occur for them. Is there anyone else out there running Solaris that has seen this problem and found a fix?

and console output after setting debug_rm_debug=1 ? You don’t need to bring up the server, just run fixup foo.

Thanks to Steve’s help, we were able to find the culprit here. Apparently, at least on the Solaris platform, when you use the Create_R85_log=1 notes.ini parameter to format the txn’s in the 85 format, you encounter this situation. Remove that, allow Domino to use the older r8 format for TXN’s and voila, working as advertised.
