We installed 8.5.1 on this server, enabled transaction logging on the server document section, “Transaction Logging”, completed the necessary fields (not rocket science), saved the document. We pointed the logging directory to e:\logs for a test and NOTHING. Made some changes to a db and nothing is logged? Are we missing something? We even brought the server down and back up, still nothing. Is this dependent on any other setting? Have gone over all the docs and seems simple to enable, but we can not see it working. Any assistance is appreciated.
Subject: after editing the server doc
the information has to migrate to the notes.ini file. After the migration then a restart of the server is required. Could you send me your notes.ini & I’ll take a look ?

Subject: Follow Up
In review of the ini file, it clearly shows TRANSLOG_Status=1, but a sh stat Database.RM.* returns Database.RM.Sys.Logged=Disabled1 Statistics found
a sh server returns:
DAOS = Not Enabled
Transaction Logging = Not Enabled
Fault Recovery = Not Enabled
Activity Logging = Not Enabled
I am not sure if TL is dependent on another service/feature, but can not find anything in the docs to suggest the same.
Assistance is appreciated.

Subject: Might want to try rebooting the system…
Just in case some 3rd Party Application is accessing Domino DLLs… so even though you quit the Domino Server, not all Add-In Processes have been terminated so not a true restart… Translog Creation only happens on the 0->1 Transition when the NSF Subsystem is initialized.
What Version of Domino are you running? I would still recommend you send Steve a copy of you notes.ini and possibly manually generate an nsd file and send to him as well. Feel free to cc: me as well.
Subject: Works on 8.5 FP1 and not 8.5.1
Enabled TL on 2 servers, both running 8.5.1 and on 1 server running 8.5 FP1. Restarted the 8.5 server and transaction logging started immediately. In the console one of the first things it does it create the logs in the specified directory. Restarted both 8.5.1 servers and neither works. One was an upgrade from 8.5.1 Beta and the other an upgrade of and 8.5 FP1 server. All ini files have the TRANSLOG setting to 1. On one of the failed servers I re-booted the server, restarted Domino, and the logs got created. Thanks for the help!
