Compact Options
Compact - Options
| Option | Command-line equivalent | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compact database only if unused space is greater than x percent | -S percent | Compacts all databases with a specified percent of unused space. For example, if you specify 10, databases with 10% or more recorded unused space are compacted. Note that the unused space calculation is not always a reliable measure of unused space. |
| Discard any built view indexes | -D | Discards built view indexes. Use this option to compact databases just before you store them on tape, for example. Does copy-style compacting. |
| Keep or revert database to previous format | -R | Compacts databases without converting to the current release file format of the server that stores the databases or reverts databases in the current release file format to the previous release file format. For example, on Domino 6 servers, this option compacts Domino 5 databases without converting them to the Domino 6 file format and converts Domino 6 databases to the Domino 5 file format. This option uses copy-style compacting. |
Compact - Style
| Option | Command-line equivalent | Description |
|---|---|---|
| In-place (recommended) | -b | Uses in-place compacting and recovers unused space without reducing the file size, unless there's a pending structural change to a database, in which case copy-style compacting occurs. This is the recommended method of compacting. |
| In-place with file size reduction | -B | Uses in-place compacting, recovers unused space and reduces file size, unless there's a pending structural change in which case copy-style compacting occurs. If you use transaction logging, do full database backups after compacting completes. |
| Copy-style | -c | Uses copy-style compacting. Use this option, for example, to solve database corruption problems. |
| Copy-style: Allow access while compacting | -L | Enables users to continue to access databases during compacting. If a user edits a database during compacting, compacting is canceled. This is useful only when copy-style compacting is done. |
| Copy-style: Ignore errors and proceed | -i | Enables compacting to continue even if it encounters errors such as document corruption. Only used for copy-style compacting. |
Compact - Advanced
| The advanced compact options are not available through the Compact tool in the Files tab of the Domino Administrator. | ||
| Option* | Command-line equivalent | Description |
| Document table bitmap optimization: Off | -f | Disables "Document table bitmap optimization" database property. Does copy-style compacting. |
| Document table bitmap optimization: On | -F | Enables "Document table bitmap optimization" database property. Does copy-style compacting. |
| Don't support specialized response hierarchy: Off | -h | Disables "Don't support specialized response hierarchy" database property; in other words, support specialized response hierarchy. Does copy-style compacting. |
| Don't support specialized response hierarchy: On | -H | Enables "Don't support specialized response hierarchy" database property; in other words, do not support specialized response hierarchy. Does copy-style compacting. |
| Enable transaction logging: Off | -t | Disables transaction logging. |
| Enable transaction logging: On | -T | Enables transaction logging. |
| Don't maintain unread marks: Off | -u | Disables "Don't maintain unread marks" database property; in other words, maintain unread marks. |
| Don't maintain unread marks: On | -U | Enables "Don't maintain unread marks" database property; in other words, do not maintain unread marks. |
Compact - Archive
| Option* | Command-line equivalent | Description |
| Archive only | -A | Archives and deletes documents from a database without compacting the database. |
| Archive and then compact | -a | Archives and deletes documents from a database and then compacts the database. |
| Delete and then archive | -j | Deletes documents from a database and then compacts the database. |
