Disabling transaction logging for a specific database
After you set up transaction logging on a server, IBM® Lotus® Domino® logs all databases on that server. You can disable transaction logging of specific databases, but this practice is not recommended because if unlogged databases are corrupted during a system or media failure, you must run the Fixup task to recover the database.

Note Transaction logging is required, and must remain enabled if you intend to use the Domino Attachment and Object Service, available in Domino 8.5 and later, to consolidate file attachments in the selected database.

To disable transaction logging for a specific database

Note The Advanced Database Properties are available only to those administrators listed in the Administrators field on the Security tab of the Server document.

2. Be sure that all users have closed the database.

3. Use the Dbcache command with the flush parameter to close the database in the database cache.

4. Open the database.
