Notes Indirect files

You can use an indirect file to specify one or more databases to compact, to rebuild views, or to fix corrupted views and documents . An indirect file is a text file that lists database file names or directory names and that you can specify for the compact, updall, or fixup task on the Domino console command line. The indirect file allows you to specify more than one database on the command line.

How to create aNotes the indirect file

1. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to create the text file.

2. List the files names of the databases in the Data directory that you want to fixup, compact, or rebuild. If the databases reside in a subdirectory of the Data directory, specify the directory and the database file name. If you want to fixup, compact, or rebuild all databases in a subdirectory, specify only the directory name.

3. Save the file with the file extension IND.

To specify the indirect file for the fixup, compact, or updall task

1. At the Domino server console, enter one of the following commands and the indirect file name:

• To run fixup, enter:
load fixup filename.ind
Note On a Windows NT system, enter nfixup.exe filename.ind.
• To run updall, enter:
load updall filename.ind
• To run compact, enter:
load compact filename.ind
