Increase the document summary data limit to 16 MB

Summary data is data in non-rich-text fields, number fields, and date-time fields. Prior to Domino 9.0.1 FP8, the allowed combined size of the summary data for these fields in a document was 64 K. This limit for Domino is now 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 for Domino is now 16 MB, and the size limit for a single non-rich-text field is 64 K.

Note: The Notes client's document summary data limit is only 32 KB. The LargeSummary commands that follow do not apply to Notes, only Domino.

Procedure

  1. Upgrade each Notes client and Domino server that has databases on which you want to increase the summary data limit to 9.0.1 FP8.
  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
