Domino Change Manager
To implement a resource-balancing plan, you use the Domino Change Manager task, which you load on only one server, usually the Administration server, in a domain. The Domino Change Manager uses the Domino Change Control database (domchange.nsf) to manage and implement a plan.

After you submit a plan, you track the status of the plan in the Domino Change Control database (DOMCHANGE.NSF). To access the Domino Change Manager from the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator, choose Server - Analysis, then expand the Domino Change Control view and choose "Plans - by Status."

The Domino Change Manager and the Administration Process

The Domino Change Manager uses the Administration Process to move databases from one server to another. Data is collected and stored in the Activity Trends database (ACTIVITY.NSF). When you use resource balancing to create a plan for redistributing the database load, it first initiates a database move command. Then it generates the "Maintain Trends Database Record" request during the standard execution of the database move. The "Maintain Trends Database Record" request is posted in the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF) after the database is created on the destination server.

During the execution of the "Maintain Trends Database Record" request, the administration requests that typically require your approval are automatically approved because the plan has been approved. You do not have to manually approve requests in the Administration Requests database (admin4.nsf).
