Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Administering
This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring IBM Domino® servers and databases.
Managing databases
Topics in this section describe how to set up and manage Domino® databases.
Fixing corrupted databases
Corrupted databases don't occur frequently when you use transaction logging. When you use transaction logging to log changes to databases, a server automatically uses the transaction log to restore and recover databases after a system failure -- for example, after server failures or power failures. If a disk failure occurs, you use the transaction log along with a certified backup utility to restore and recover the databases.
Detecting corrupted databases
You can identify corrupt databases without bringing down the Domino® server. In some cases, the cause of database corruption may be determined by examining the database in the corrupt state.
Capturing corruption data for a specific database
The dbcapture tool is provided as a standalone tool to collect a specific database manually at the discretion of the administrator or user.

Capturing corruption data for a specific database

The dbcapture tool is provided as a standalone tool to collect a specific database manually at the discretion of the administrator or user.

About this task

The tool respects the number and size limits when collecting a database. The tool ignores the DATABASE_CAPTURE_ENABLED configuration variable.

Procedure

Enter the following command at the server console, where red.nsf is the name of the database file to be captured in the abc directory relative to the data directory.

load dbcapture abc\red.nsf

Tip: You can also run the dbcapture tool from an Operating System command prompt by entering the following command: dbcapture abc\red.nsf

Results

The collected database has the same name as the source database file with a .cor extension.
