Installing Domino Step by Step

Manual NSD in Windows ?


Detailed information for the notes.ini Keyword: NSD_LogDir

Short Description: Defines a directory where NDS files will be placed.

Description:

In Domino 6.x, the NSD output is generated in different locations, depending on how it is executed. If you create NSD output manually by executing the tool from the DOS prompt, the file will be generated in the Data directory. Administrators can change this default location, using the NSD_LOGDIR Windows environment variable. NSD output will be placed in the directory to which NSD_LOGDIR points.

If NSD is triggered by the panic handling code, in response to a crash, the output is put in the diagnostic directory. The diagnostic directory defaults to the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory under your Data directory, but can be modified by the Logfile_Dir INI parameter. Note that NSD will still be generated in the Data directory, if you manually run it.

An enhancement request was submitted to Lotus software Quality Engineering to have NSD logs by default be written to the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory; however, there are no plans to address this in the 6.x code stream.



Default value:
None

Syntax:
NSD_LogDir=drivename and folder

Example:
NSD_LogDir=D:\logs\NSD

Replication Types



Replication Type:

Four Different types of replication exist. The type you choose affects the direction of
replication as well as which of the servers performs the work of the replication.
Pull Pull: Replication is bidirectional, whereby the source server initiates replication and pulls
documents from the target server. The source server then signals the target server's Replica task to
pull documents in the opposite direction. Both servers are involved in the replication.
Pull Push (Default): Replication is bidirectional, whereby the source serves’s replica task performs all
of the work, pushing and pulling documents to and from the target server. The target server's Replica
task is never engaged.
Pull Only: Replication is one-way, whereby the source server pulls documents from the target.
Push Only: Replication is one-way, whereby the source server pushes documents to the target.

Router Tell commands



The table below describes other Tell commands you can use with the Router task.
Command
Result
Tell Router Delivery Stats
Shows Router delivery statistics.
Tell Router Compact

Compacts MAIL.BOX and cleans up open Router queues. You can use this command to compact MAIL.BOX at any time. If more than one MAIL.BOX is configured for the server, each MAIL.BOX database will be compacted in sequence.
By default, MAIL.BOX is automatically compacted at 4 AM.
Tell Router Show Queues
Shows mail held in transfer queues to specific servers and mail held in the local delivery queue.
Tell Router Exit
 Stops the Router task on a server.
Tell Router Update Config
Updates the server's routing tables to immediately modify how messages are routed. This removes the 5 minute delay before a Router configuration change takes effect.
To determine the best route for delivering a message to its destination, the Router creates routing tables, which map a path to the destination. The routing table derives information from variables in the NOTES.INI file and from the Configuration Settings, Domain, Connection, and Server documents in the Domino Directory. The command does not update the routing tables with changes made to the Global Domain document.
By default, mail the router automatically refreshes its configuration every 5 minutes to absorb changes made in its sources. In previous versions of Domino, you had to restart the router task to update the routing tables after making changes in the sources documents.
The command is case insensitive.
Caution If the Tell Router Update Config command is initiated on an R5 server, it loads shared mail. The Tell Router U portion of the command loads shared mail on R5 servers.
Tell Router Quit
Load Router
Stops the Router task on a server.

SMTP Commands




1.                   Type open mail1.fabrikam.com 25 and then press ENTER.
2.                   Type EHLO contoso.com and then press ENTER.

4.                   Type RCPT TO:kate@fabrikam.com NOTIFY=success,failure and then press ENTER. The optional NOTIFY command defines the particular delivery status notification (DSN) messages that the destination SMTP server must provide to the sender. DSN messages are defined in RFC 1891. In this case, you are requesting a DSN message for successful or failed message delivery.
5.                   Type DATA and then press ENTER. You will receive a response that resembles the following:
354 Start mail input; end with <CLRF>.<CLRF>
6.                   Type Subject: Test from Contoso and then press ENTER.
