• DominoDefrag and transaction logging

    By dominique pernaud 1 decade ago

    Hello.

    I am using at the moment JKDefragCmd.exe to defrag our domino server (test environement).

    I would like to use DominoDefrag instead of.

    My problem is that we have transaction logging activated and we fear an interference between DominoDefrag and Tansaction logging task over the files, the allocation of files.

    What the experience say ?

    Thank you

    Dominique

      Hi Dominique,

      in my experience DominoDefrag does not interfere with the transaction log process on either Notes databases or transaction log files (TXN). Both can run ok concurrently, as the Domino transaction log activity is unaware of DominoDefrag's (uses contig.exe / JKDefragCmd.exe) NTFS defragmentation operations.     

      Try in your test environment and tell me how you go.

      Regards

      Andrew
