Domino Administrator is not available in Brazilian Portuguese. Some Domino Administrators want to use Notes e Administrator in native language.

To change the Administrator (English version) to Brazilian Portuguese:

  • Copy the MUIpt-BR from an Notes installed in Brazilian Portuguese to the same folder in your Notes/Administrator
  • Put this 3 lines in your notes.ini:

AltNameLanguage=pt
ContentLanguage=pt-BR
UserInterface=pt-BR

Using NotesDatabase.CreateDocumentCollection on an unopened database is known to cause a crash. This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# AGUD7LPRDW. For safety, use NotesDatabase.IsOpen to test before calling this method.

Dim coll As NotesDocumentCollection
if db.IsOpen Then
Set coll = db.CreateDocumentCollection
...

Other methods for creating empty collections, described in the Domino Designer wiki, are useful in earlier versions, but NotesDatabase.CreateDocumentCollection is faster.

To avoid possible server hangs or crashes, it is recommended that Fixup be performed outside business hours to avoid impacting users. However, if Fixup must be run during business hours, which is often the case, follow the steps below to minimize the impact:

1.  Load the Fixup database.nsf -C -O against the file.

* -C will only verify the integrity of the database and report errors to the log (database is not modified).

* -O runs on an open database otherwise open databases will be skipped.

Note:
If you run Fixup on open databases, Fixup takes the databases offline to perform the fixup.
This is the default if you run Fixup and specify a database name. Without this option, when you do not specify database names, Fixup does not run on open databases.

Important: If the report to the log contains a problem that has never been seen before, do NOT attempt to run Fixup during business hours.

2. If you choose to run Fixup during peak hours, consider running Compact -C instead. This copy-style compaction is not able to copy damaged objects and is used to resolve database corruption issues. This results in less recoverable data but reduces exposure to failures related to Fixup.

3. Fixup is designed to recover corrupt data. This utility manages data in an invalid state but occasionally is unable to manage data errors which can result in server hangs or crashes. This is why running Fixup -C is recommended.

4. When running Fixup while in production, it is important to monitor its state. Fixup -L (with the -C -O) will log detailed information to the console on Fixup’s progress. If it is not making any progress (“Performing consistency check” is the first message reported), QUIT the Fixup process. Taking this action early may avoid a server hang.

5. Enable Transaction Logging. Transactional Logging provides improved data integrity, which reduces the exposure to corruption and eliminates the need to use Fixup on a regular basis.

When the Sametime meeting server (the classic meeting server for Sametime 8.5x) is under stress, a problem in Microsoft Windows 2003 SP2 described in “TCP connections fail intermittently when both endpoints are on the same computer in Windows Server 2003 SP2 (Article ID: 979230)” can lead to the failure of current meetings, as well as the failure to launch new meetings.

To prevent this situation from affecting the performance of your Sametime server, apply the hotfix Fix307523 as indicated in the Microsoft article linked above.  This hotfix is for Windows 2003 SP2; those customers not running SP2 must install SP2 before applying this hotfix.

Additional information

As noted in the Microsoft article, this problem can occur when an application makes a TCP connection to localhost.  For example, the Sametime server code uses localhost connections for communication between its modules. Under stress, a race condition in the TCP/IP driver in Windows 2003 can orphan these localhost TCP connections, causing applications like Sametime that rely on these connections to fail.  

Restarting the system can provide temporary relief, until such time as stress leads to the next instance of the TCP/IP localhost failure.

At the server console type sh stat server.    There is a server statistic called “Server.Version.Architecture” that indicates if Domino is 64-bit or not.
