Maintaining user mail files using the dbmt tool instead of updall
You can use the database maintenance (dbmt) tool for performing multiple daily/weekly administrative tasks on user's mail database files. The dbmt tool relieves the administrator of the need to run the Updall task.
About this task
- runs copy-style compact operations
- purges deletion stubs
- expires soft deleted entries
- updates views
- reorganizes folders
- merges full-text indexes
- updates unread lists
- ensures that critical views are created for failover
Important: When you run this tool, you no longer
need to run updall; do not run them both.
The dbmt tool does not compact system databases. The tool uses a specific list of databases, as follows, for this exception:
- names.nsf
- log.nsf
- admin4.nsf
- ddm.nsf
- lndfr.nsf
- events4.nsf
- statrep.nsf
- dbdirman.nsf
- dircat.nsf
- clubusy.nsf
- domlog.nsf
- cldbdir.nsf
- busytime.nsf
- catalog.nsf
- daoscat.nsf
- mtdata/mtstore.nsf
Note: If your organization has additional system databases (such
as other Domino® Directory
databases with a file name other than names.nsf),
specify them in a notes.ini variable as described
in one of the following procedures.
