Re: Auto-Compacting?

One easy to maintain method is to open that database and do File, 
Replication, Settings, Space Savers and turn on Remove documents not 
modified in X days.  We've done that for a number of these kind of 
databases.
But as you've stated, a drop in the pond.

One cool thing to do is to use the GUI domino administrator.  Go into that 
directory.  Select Show Me and select All File Types.  Sort by size 
descending.  In the root, our biggest file, by far is the log.nsf.  1GB. 
And it doesn't have anything older than 8 days.  Strange, but that's not 
in it's replication settings.  The next file is only 20% of this.  Now, in 
our mail directory:
6.5gb
5.8gb
3.6gb
3.6gb
3gb
12 over 2gb
59 over 1gb
...
And I just noticed that off to the right of the Show Me is a button for 
All or Tree.  If you select All, you can sort all files in all 
subdirectories by size.

IBM hides a few directories from this tool.  Like IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT. 
That's where using an unofficially approved tool like iSeries Navigator 
may be nice.  Dang, I just noticed they hide other files from this tool, 
like nsd's.  HEY IBMers - Why are certain directories and files omitted? I 
am thinking because IBM doesn't assume all means *. or *.*.  They think it 
means selecting all of the options available when you select Show Me - 
Custom.  Still doesn't explain the missing directories.  Let me guess - it 
doesn't show directories which don't contain any of the file types as 
determined by Show Me - Custom?

The size of DOMLOG.NSF is 3670016 bytes.  It's a drop in the pond,
relatively speaking.  There are 5655 entries that go back to January of
2002.

True. Generally it should be relatively safe to run this on mail DBs which
may be the culprit.

One other thing - I remember that one time my DASD was shooting up and I
noticed that my HTTP log files were the culprit. The original poster may
want to check for the DOMLOG.NSF file size as well as looking to see if he
has the logging going to text files in a separate directory.
