What does cache.ndk do?

I am trying to increase performance of our Notes system, that is reported to be running slow.After checking the ini files, I have discovered the cache file in the ini was directed at c:\Notes6\temp\cache.nsf, when it should have been c:\notes6\temp\cache.ndk, I also had another copy of cache.ndk in the root of c:\Notes6, How would this affect the performance of Notes, & how important is this file ?

Many Thanks

U can deleted all the times u want but the system will create it again.

Cache.ndk is a file where u save some views and forms of databases to open quickly next time u enter.

This file increase the performance of notes client, but if goes too big it do it the opposite. I recomend u to delete it if it comes up to 30 Mb

It catches design elements so the workstation does not go to the server to read them.

Some tips to increase your system’s performance:

  • If you have custom applications, talk with developers to

    recognize unused views and remove them if possible

  • Reduce the number of columns in views that can

    be resorted: It increases the view index thus generating

    view performance loss

  • Also in the view, if can be done, don’t autoupdate the

    view, letting the users update them by pressing F9

  • If you use LZ1 attachment compression and at the

    same time you have users accessing the DB from

    HTTP, disabled LZ1 since the server has to

    decompress LZ1 (it is not recognized by IE) and

    recompress each attachment to gzip…

    Instead I recommend you to evaluate ZipMail

    at www.mk-net-work.com

  • If you want to cache attachments, see MK Attached

    File Cache also at www.mk-net-work.com
