Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help

DATABASE MANAGEMENT

Updall options
You can use any of these methods of running the Updall task on a server:

Task - Start tool in the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator -- Use this method if you don't want to use command-line options.
Load Updall console command-- Use this method if you're comfortable using command-line options or if you want to run Updall directly at the server console when there is no IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator running on the server machine.
Program document that runs Updall-- Use this method to schedule Updall to run at particular times.
Run Updall on a Win32 platform -- Use this method if you are unable to run Updall at the server console. This method requires that you use the "n" prefix -- for example, nupdall - R.

When you use these methods, you can include options that control what Updall updates. For example, you can update all views and not update any full-text search indexes.

The following tables describe the options you can use with Updall. The first column describes the option names as they appear in the Task - Start tool. The second column lists the equivalent command-line options that you use when you use a console command to run Updall and when you schedule Updall to run in a Program document.

Use this syntax when you use the Load updall console command:

Load updall

databasepath options

For example:

Load updall SALES.NSF -F

You can specify multiple options -- for example:

Load updall -F -M

Updall - Basic options

Option in Task - Start tool Command-line option Description

Index all databases
Index only this database or folder
databasepath
This option is used when running Updall as a console command.
"Only this database" updates only the specified database. To update a database in the Domino data folder, enter the file name, for example, SALES.NSF. To update databases in a folder within the data folder, specify the database path relative to the data folder, for example, DOC\README.NSF.
"Index all databases" (or no database path) updates all databases on the server.

Update this view only database -T viewtitle Updates a specific view in a database. Use, for example, with -R to solve corruption problems.
Note -T cannot be used with .IND (indirect) files.

Updall - Update options

Option in Task - Start tool Command-line option Description

Update: All built views -V Updates built views and does not update full-text indexes.

Update: Full text indexes -F Updates full-text indexes and does not update views.

Update: Full text indexes: Only those with frequency set to: Immediate or Hourly -H Updates full-text indexes assigned "Immediate" or "Hourly" as an update frequency.

Updall - Rebuild options

Option in Task - Start tool Command-line option Description

Rebuild: Full-text indexes only -X Rebuilds full-text indexes and does not rebuild views. Use to rebuild full-text indexes that are corrupted.

Rebuild: All used views -R Rebuilds all used views. Using this option is resource-intensive, so use it as a last resort to solve corruption problems with a specific database.

Rebuild: Full-text indexes and additionally: All unused views database -C Rebuilds unused views and a full-text index in a database. Requires you to specify a database.
