Increase the document summary data limit to 16 MB

You can increase the document summary data limit on Notes 9 databases to 16 MB.

About this task

Summary data is data in non-rich-text fields, number fields, and date-time fields. Previously the combined size of all summary data fields in a document was limited to 64 K. This limit is now 16 MB. The size limit for a single field remains 32 K.

Procedure

  1. Upgrade each Notes client and Domino server to FP8 that has databases on which you want to increase the summary data limit.
  2. Ensure that databases on which you want to increase the summary data limit are Notes 9 (ODS 52). Add the following notes.ini setting on Domino or Notes and then restart the server or client:
    CREATE_R9_DATABASES=1
  3. Issue the following compact command on a server to enable the increased document summary data limit on a specific database:
    load compact -LargeSummary on database.nsf
    Tip: Or, use this shortened version of the command:
    load compact -ls on database.nsf
