Admin Client Enhancements
The Domino Administrator 8.5 client has received a few enhancements, mostly to support new Domino
server features such as DAOS and ID Vault.
Usability Enhancements
A new usability enhancement to the Domino Administrator client is the ability to copy and paste the data
from many of the server panels. For example, the Files panel holds a diverse set of information about your
server’s databases such as file size, file name, ODS version, DAOS information, and more. Now, you can
select the rows of information in the panel, copy the data, and then paste it into a spreadsheet.
DAOS
When working with a DAOS-enabled server you will want to have quick access to some basic DAOS
statistics for each DAOS-enabled database. An enhancement to the Domino Administrator’s Files panel
gives you the ability to view the DAOS state (read/write, read-only, disabled), the number of attachments
that the database has in the repository, and the size of the data in the repository. This information is
provided in three new columns: DAOS State, DAOS Count, and DAOS Size respectively.
These columns should be visible by default, but if they are not you can add them from the Administration
Preferences dialogue by selecting File -> Preferences -> Administration Preferences. Once in the
Administration Preferences select the Files tab and scroll through the list of Available Columns until you find
the DAOS columns. You can then select these columns and move then into the Use These Columns
section.
