DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Enabling the setting marks the database for participation in attachment consolidation. The consolidation feature must also be enabled in the Server document (DAOS tab), and transaction logging must also be enabled.
You must be at least a database administrator to enable the setting. If a database is not upgraded to the current ODS level, the Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS) property does not display on the Advanced tab.
Enabling the setting for an existing database consolidates only attachments created and saved in the database from then on. To consolidate both existing attachments and new ones, run a copy-style compact operation on the database after enabling the setting.
If you enable DAOS for mail databases, you must also enable it for all MAIL.BOX files on the server. DAOS objects do count in mail file quotas, and are included in the displayed file size of a database.
Note To use this feature, the NSF must be at the current level of ODS.
To upgrade all newly created databases to the current level so that you can mark them for attachment consolidation, enter the following setting in your NOTES.INI file:
1. From the Domino Administrator client, select File - Application - Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab. (The icon on this tab is a beanie.)
3. Enable "Use Domino Attachment and Object Service."
1. From the Domino Administrator client, select Files - Advanced Properties.
2. Enable "Use Domino Attachment and Object Service."
Tip You can select and enable the check box even for databases that are earlier than the current ODS level, but they will not participate in attachment consolidation until upgraded to the current level.
