This documentation provides information about the administration tools for managing and monitoring servers and databases.
Topics in this section describe the tools you can use to administer a Domino® server.
This section describes the Domino® server commands that are available, as well as methods of issuing those commands.
This list briefly describes the Domino® server commands that are available.
Displays the long Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) version string.
The Domino® Administrator is the administration client for Notes® and Domino. You can use the Domino Administrator to perform most administration tasks.
The Server Controller is a Java-based program that controls a Domino® server. Starting the Server Controller starts the Domino server it controls. When a server runs under a Server Controller, you can send operating system commands, Controller commands, and Domino server commands to the Server Controller.
The Administration Process is a program that automates many routine administrative tasks.
Sends a message to specified users, to users of a specified database, or to all users of a specified server.
Disables the database cache when you need exclusive access to a file in it.
Closes all databases that are currently open in the database cache.
Displays the names of the databases currently in the cache.
Closes one or more Domino® server sessions.
Use this command to stop the server. This command is identical to Quit.
Displays a list of server commands with a brief description, arguments (if any), and the proper syntax for each.
Creates a named encryption key in the server ID file; creates a credential store assigned a named encryption key that is used to encrypt documents; creates a shared key in a credential store to use to encrypt DAOS objects on multiple servers; or creates a Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) key
Deletes a named encryption key from the server ID file.
Exports the content of a credential store, shared keys from a credential store, named encryption key from a server ID file, all Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) documents, or a DKIM key.
Imports the content of a credential store into another credential store, imports a named encryption key into a server ID file, or imports a shared encryption key used for DAOS object encryption previously exported from one credential store into another credential store. Performed after keymgmt export.
keymgmt export
Shows a specific named encryption key or all named encryption keys in the server ID file, shows a shared encryption key or all shared encryption keys in a credential store, or shows one DKIM key or all DKIM keys in a credential store.
The Load command loads and starts a specified server task or program on the Domino® server.
Controls the platform statistics data at the console.
The Pull command forces a one-way replication from the specified server to your server. You can also replicate a single database from the specified server to your server by including the database name on the command line.
The Push command forces a one-way replication from your server to the specified server. You can also replicate a single database from your server to the specified server by including the database name on the command line.
The Quit command stops the Domino® server.
Forces replication between two servers (the server where you enter this command and the server you specify).
Disables transactions (or messages) on the specified port and then re-enables the port after a brief delay.
The Restart Server command stops the Domino® server and then restarts it after a brief delay.
Shuts down and then restarts a specified server task.
Initiates mail routing with a specific Domino® server.
Exports a specified document (noteid) from the Domino® Directory (NAMES.NSF) to dxl format and saves the dxl file to the Domino data directory.
Adds or changes a setting in the NOTES.INI file.
Reloads the Domino® server's mail rules, enabling new rules to take effect immediately.
The Set SCOS command activates or deactivates a shared mail database.
Password-protects the Domino® server console.
Resets a statistic that is cumulative.
Forces the internal Domino® time to be set to the operating system time.
Displays the names of agents in the database you specify.
Displays the history of the expansion factor and the availability index (AI). Use this command after running a server under load.
Displays the configuration for all enabled and disabled ports on the server.
Displays the local server's cluster name cache.
Displays the current value for a NOTES.INI setting.
Shows information about a specific database.
Lists all database files (NSF and NTF) in the data directory on a Domino® server, and specifies whether the server contains multiple replicas of a database.
Displays the amount of space, in bytes, available on the disk drive (Microsoft™ Windows™), or file system (UNIX™).
Indicates whether the server is responding.
Displays configuration information about the ID vaults on a server. The command also deletes a vault replica that is marked for deletion.
Displays the amount of RAM and swap memory available on a server.
Reports the amount of memory being used by monitors.
Displays a list of open databases on the server and detail information for the databases.
Displays the per minute user/transaction values when the Domino® Server is running.
Displays traffic and error statistics, and resources used on the network adapter card or communications port.
Shows the next time that a server task will run.
Shows single copy object store (shared mail) information and reloads the shared mail configuration.
Shows server status information.
Displays Domino® server statistics for one or more of the following: disk space, memory, mail, replication, and network activity.
Shows statistics on the Domino® Attachment and Object Service (DAOS).
Shows messaging statistics regarding dispatch requests and other messaging statistics.
Displays individual and cumulative platform statistics for all servers including one or more of the following: logical disk, paging file, memory, individual network, process, and system.
Monitors the performance of physical and virtual memory. The Show Stat vm command displays a list of virtual memory usage statistics for all enabled Domino® server processes.
Displays the server name, the Domino® program directory path, and the status of the active server tasks.
For each type of transaction, displays the total number of NRPC transactions, the minimum and maximum duration of the transaction, the total time to perform all transactions, and the average time to perform the transaction.
Displays a list of all users who have established sessions with the server, whether or not the users are actively working in databases.
Provides information about each directory a server uses for name resolution.
Enables output to the console log file.
Enables transactions (or messages) on the specified port.
Disables output to the console log file.
Disables transactions (or messages) on the specified port.
Forces a dynamic reloading of the Smart Upgrade configuration information, displays the state of the Domino® server's Smart Upgrade cache information, and displays Smart Upgrade statistics gathered when the Domino server was restarted.
Displays the current state of the Domino® server's Smart Upgrade cache as well as some statistics gathered since the Domino server was restarted.
Issues a command to a server program or task.
Tests a connection to a server.
Use a server console to see server events as they happen and to send commands to a server. Server events are also logged to a server's log file (LOG.NSF). You can view the log file from the Server > Analysis tab in the Domino® Administrator.
You can enter commands in the server console.
A server can run under a Java-based Controller; this starts the server when you start the Controller.
A Domino® server command can contain up to 255 characters. If an argument for a command contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks. For example: PULL "Renovations Server".
The Domino® Character Console (cconsole program) provides a way to access the server console from the command line. This feature is available only for UNIX™ platforms.
The information in this topic describes Domino® server tasks and their defaults in the NOTES.INI file.
You can use IBM® i server commands to manage Domino® with IBM i.
The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
This section describes how to use the tools and features that help you monitor a Domino® system.
Manage Domino® servers by performing any of these tasks.
Topics in this section describe how to set up and manage Domino® databases.
