Quick Fix For Sametime 8
Category Administration IBM/Lotus Domino ND8 Linux Sametime
I don't know why, and IBM doesn't know why, but there are occasional times when the Sametime servers do not create instant or scheduled meetings. What's especially frustrating, is that there doesn't appear to be any trace or log information that would even signal when this failure occurs. We only know by personal testing, or when a client notifies us. I need these servers working 24x7.
Running a scrub of fixup, compact and updall against the stconf.nsf will return the server to full utility--but it has to be performed with Domino off-line.
My work-around has been to create a shell script, and run it weekly as a cron job. If you have the same problem, then you might need this simple solution. Note, that I'm relying on Daniel Nashed's excellent Unix/Linux Start script (which is referred to in my shell script as "Domino").
Total time for downing the server, and scrubbing the database has been less than 10 minutes.
