Switches for Fixup, Compact & Updall ( Maintenance )

Update Vs Updall

Update
Update is loaded at server startup by default and runs continually, checking its work queue for views and folders that require updating. The indexer uses modest system resources by waiting five seconds between each database update operation that is performs.

Updall
Updall is similar to Update, but it doesn't run continually or work from a queue; instead you run Updall as needed. You can specify options when you run Updall, but without them Updall updates any view indexes or full-text search indexes on the server that need updating. To save disk space, Updall also purges deletion stubs from databases and discards view indexes for views that have been unused for 45 days, unless the database designer has specified different criteria for discarding view indexes. Use the NOTES.INI setting Default_Index_Lifetime_Days to change when Updall discards unused view indexes.
Like Update, Updall rebuilds all corrupted view indexes and full-text search indexes that it encounters.
By default Updall is included in the NOTES.INI setting ServerTasksAt2, so it runs daily at 2 AM. Running Updall daily helps save disk space by purging deletion stubs and discarding unused view indexes. It also ensures that all full-text search indexes that are set for daily updates are updated.

Unread Marks in Lotus Notes

How to fix the Lotus Notes unread documents feature -
Lotus Notes 6.x client has the ability to keep track of unread documents in each folder. But sometimes this feature gets out of whack and displays a larger count than the actual number of unread documents within a folder.
Method 1 -
Follow these steps to resolve this problem:
Open the user's mail file.
Go to the view "All Documents."
Select: View -> Show -> Unread only. (Only the unread e-mails will be displayed in the view.)
Select: Edit -> Select All to select all unread documents in the view.
Select: Edit -> Unread Marks -> Mark All Read. (Note: all documents will disappear.)
Deselect: View -> Show -> Unread only.
Select: Edit -> Unread Marks -> Mark Selected Unread.
The "Unread Counter" should now be corrected.

Method 2 –
Some users do not like marking all of their documents as "read," but would still like to have an accurate unread count. Two methods I have used which work to correct the count are:
Select the Mail file -> Edit menu -> Unread Marks -> scan unread marks. It may tell you that the views are not built properly and ask you if you want to rebuild them. Click on "yes." This will reset the count.
Open the Mail file and then press CTRL + SHIFT + F9 to rebuild all the views/folders.
