The Miscellaneous Events view of the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server log file (LOG.NSF) records detailed messages about corrupted documents and views. These messages in the log file indicate document corruption:

• Document NTdocument number in database database name is damaged
• Document document number in database database name has been deleted

• Page format is incorrect
• Invalid CNO vector - position == 0
• Container integrity has been lost - rebuild

If you encounter database corruption in a database, you can use any of these methods to try to fix the problem. Because corruption is much less of an issue for logged databases, these methods are primarily used for solving corruption problems in unlogged databases.

• Run Fixup to fix corrupted views and documents.
• Run Updall to fix corrupted views and full-text indexes; if a corrupted view is the problem, try Updall before trying Fixup.
• Run Compact with the -c option to fix corruption problems that Fixup doesn't correct.
• Press SHIFT+F9 to rebuild one view; press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to rebuild all views in a database.
• Create a replica of the database.
