Re: COMPACT issues?

Golly I just love their suggestions

load fixup   /*.nsf -f -j
[07498:00002-00000068] 06/20/2018 15:46:26   Database Fixup: Started: 
/*.nsf
 -f -j  
[07498:00002-00000068] 06/20/2018 15:46:26   Database Fixup: The pathname 
'/*
.nsf' was not found: File does not exist  

load fixup   *.nsf -f -j
[07499:00002-00000069] 06/20/2018 15:46:40   Database Fixup: Started: 
*.nsf 
-f -j  
[07499:00002-00000069] 06/20/2018 15:46:40   Database Fixup: The pathname 
'/g
di01/notes/data/*.nsf' was not found: File does not exist  
[07499:00002-00000069] 06/20/2018 15:46:40   Database Fixup: Shutdown  


Would it slay them to even try some of their suggestions?

Apparently long standing practices one has been doing for years are the 
reasons for some of our server failures and system fixes, domino fixes and 

hardware upgrades have nothing to do with it, or at least that is what 
support is trying to get me to believe.

Having a program document to do compact needs to be modified to specify 
/*.nsf because, otherwise, it will compact mail*.box files too and this 
will cause long held locks and evil things will happen.

Now I am curious.  Standard support response is to rename your mail.box 
files to something like mail.old and restart your servers.  When asked 
about the mail stuck in those files I was told to use the admin client to 
copy and paste them into the new files.
I forgot to ask how the admin client knows how to open a mail.old file and 

allow you to copy from it.
