Enhancements to Show Server and Show Directory
These commands now report whether the Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS) is enabled, and
provide a list of which databases are included in DAOS with details for each.
Administration Process
The Administration Process records statistics to help you monitor the request processing activity of the
administration process tasks. All administration process requests scheduled for processing originate from
the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF). Requests are regularly retrieved from ADMIN4.NSF
and temporarily stored in various ID tables, depending on the type and schedule of the request. They remain
in the ID table until it is time to process specific requests based on schedule. Statistics are maintained for
each of these ID tables to provide feedback on the ID table's usage as well as an indication of the
Administration Process workload. All of the ID tables referred to by these statistics contain the NoteID of the
administration process request that is to be processed.
Once the administration requests have been properly categorized into the appropriate ID tables, they are
available for processing. At the appropriate scheduled time they will be placed onto one of a number of
available message queues. Similar to statistics maintained for ID tables, statistics are maintained for each
message queue to provide feedback on message queue usage.
A third group of statistics is also provided to provide feedback on request processing times for
Administration Process batched requests.
These statistics are separated into the following three areas:
Statistics for Administration Process task Corresponding statistic heading
Request ID Table Monitoring ADMINP.RequestIDTables
Request Message Queuing ADMINP.ReqMsgQueue
Batch Request Processing ADMINP.BatchReqProcessing
These statistics are provided to represent an indication of Administration Process activity. The statistics do
not really provide a method to monitor progress. For example, reviewing the statistics and noticing that there
are a large number of "Waiting" statistics in any one of the message queues would indicate that all of the
request processing threads are busy running long-running requests, and some reconfiguration of the
Administration Process may be necessary. For example, you may need to add additional processing threads
or configure dedicated threads.
For more details, see the topic "Statistics generated during administration request processing" in the Lotus
Domino and Notes Information Center.
Database Features
Lotus Notes/Domino introduces a new on-disk structure called ODS51.
ODS 51 Advantages
You have to use ODS 51 to enable DAOS. To have the databases converted to ODS 51 you will have to add
Create_R85_Databases=1 to the Notes.ini of the server (or workstation).
You can set this parameter by one of the following methods
• Edit the Notes.ini directly and restarting the server
