SnTT: Compact ques requests from Notes Clients in Domino 7
Thursday 19th April, 2007Another change in Domino 7 is how the compact task treats a request from a Notes Client to compact a database. If you are use to deleting email from your mail file and then going to DB Properties and clicking compact to regain your whitespace, this still works just not as fast. Depending on how busy the server is, the request to compact the database is placed in a que until the server determines it is not to busy.

There is a set of stats you can check by issuing a "SH STAT" on the console.
Update.PendingList = 2
Update.PendingList.Max = 3
Update.PendingList.NextDueTime = 04/19/2007 22:30:59 EDT
Update.PendingList.Processed.Compactions = 3
This can show you how many compact requests are pending, how many it's carried out and the next time it will try.
This issue is under review by Lotus Development. My customer received a hotfix to revert the functionality back to the way it worked in 6 so the compact request would be immediate. I understand there may be a new INI parameter in Domino 7.0.3 that will allow you to choose rather to let the compact request que or take place immediately.
