I have implemented DAOS on mail files (on a Lotus Domino Server), but not on a bespoke notes application. The estimator (version 1.5) keeps crashing when I try to run it on a 40Gb and 60Gb database (both have loads of attachments).
3 questions:
- Can I run DAOS on a non Notes mail database?
- If some of the data is archived to another database, on the same server, then will the link to the data be preserved?
- Should I be concerned implementing, without having a chance to run the estimator first?
Thanks
Yes. In fact, IBM released a fix for the issue of DAOS crashing when running on large databases... it's included in 8.5.2 FP3 - might be worth checking out.
Not the way you're archiving them, no. "Archiving is done via an agent, simple copy to another db and then delete."
If you're deleting it, it gets deleted.
I would be. But I'm weird like that, wanting to test things before I roll them into production.
