corrupt databases

Enabled (default). If a database is corrupt and

Domino cannot use the transaction log to
recover it, Domino runs the Fixup task, assigns
a new DBIID, and notifies the administrator that
a new database backup is required.

Disabled. Domino does not run the Fixup task

automatically and notifies the administrator to
run the Fixup task with the -J parameter on
corrupt logged databases.

Runtime / Restart
performance

This field controls how often Domino records a
recovery checkpoint in the transaction log, which
affects server performance.
To record a recovery checkpoint, Domino evaluates
each active logged database to determine how many
transactions would be necessary to recover each
database after a system failure. When Domino
completes this evaluation, it:

Creates a recovery checkpoint record in the

transaction log, listing each open database and
the starting point transaction needed for
recovery

Forces database changes to be saved to disk if

they have not been saved already

Choose one:

Standard (default and recommended).

Checkpoints occur regularly.

Favor runtime. Domino records fewer

checkpoints, which requires fewer system
resources and improves server run time
performance.

Favor restart recovery time. Domino records

more checkpoints, which improves restart
recovery time because fewer transactions are
required for recovery.

Logging style

Choose Archive. The default is Circular.


Notes:
You can only run transaction log backup if you have transaction logging enabled and you are
using archive mode. This command does not apply if you have transaction logging enabled not
in archive mode or if transaction logging is not enabled at all. If you try to issue it, you will
receive an error message.
