- Dynamic indexing of high-usage views
IBM® Domino® now dynamically assigns dedicated view indexing threads to views with content that is frequently updated. This feature keeps busy views up-to-date and enables them to be opened more quickly. You don't have to manually identify and manage view indexing for active views yourself.
- Symmetrical clusters
Symmetrical clusters is a feature that ensures that IBM® Notes® databases remain identical across all servers in a cluster. Any missing or damaged databases are repaired (replaced) with good copies from a donor cluster member.
- Improved streaming cluster replication during server restarts
IBM® Domino® 10 implements streaming cluster replication (SCR) improvements that help preserve the state of the SCR queue after Domino® server restarts. These improvements allow SCR to be used after server restart without first re-initializing SCR for databases, which can delay replication.
- New way to synchronize database replicas
IBM Domino 10 provides a new argument for the Replicate command, -F, to force a full database replication when replicas of a database get out of sync. The replication occurs on the side and allows users to continue to see replication updates during the full replication. In addition, the -L argument is available to log information about the documents (notes) that would replicate if you use the -F option but without actually performing the replication,.
- Detect delays in database replication within a cluster
When a database on one server in a cluster is overdue to be replicated to another server, entries are created in the server log. A group of cluster currency statistics are available to help proactively spot delays in database replication within a cluster.
- Full-text search resiliency
Full-text indexing is more resilient in this release.
- Document deletion logging
A new compact task option is available to enable logging of data about deleted documents in databases that you specify. The data is logged to entries in deletion log files added to the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory on a server. For example, you can log when documents are deleted from mail files to help troubleshoot if users report missing documents.
- Automatic dead mail processing
Dead mail occurs when the router can't deliver or transfer a message to the intended recipient or a non-delivery report to the sender. Prior to Domino 10, if administrators wanted to retry sending dead mail, they did it manually. Also, dead mail stayed in mail.box until an administrator deleted it. In Domino 10, administrators can configure the router to automatically retry delivery of dead mail and if unsuccessful delete it from mail.box after a specified number of retry attempts.
