Use a Program document to schedule Compact to run at a
regular time. For example, schedule Compact to run with the -B option
once a week.
Procedure
- From the Domino® Administrator,
click the Configuration tab.
- Next to Use Directory on, select
the server with the replica of the Domino Directory
you want to modify.
- Expand Server - Programs and then click Add Program.
- On the Basics tab, complete these fields:
Table 1. Basics tab Field
|
Enter
|
Program name
|
Compact
|
Command line
|
Command line options. Don't specify "load"
before the options.
|
Server to run on
|
Enter either the full hierarchical name of
a server on which Compact should run, an asterisk (*) to run the task
on all servers, or a server group name. Any server group name that
you use must be a Server only type of group
(not a multi-purpose group).
Tip: You can use a pattern-matching
character in this field. A pattern-matching character -- the question
mark (?) -- allows you to include all servers where one or more subsequent
characters in the server name vary, for example: Sales??/Renovations includes Sales01/Renovations, Sales02/Renovations,
and so on.
You can also use an asterisk (*) anywhere within
a group name; you are not limited to the leftmost component of the
hierarchical name. For example: Sales*/Renovations
includes Sales001/Renovations, Sales002/Renovations,
and so on.
