Description

With Create_R10_Databases=1, Domino creates newly created (or compact -upgrade-migrated) databases in ODS 52 format. ODS 52 was introduced with Domino 10 and brought, among other things, higher maximum sizes, faster view index calculation, and better replication behavior.
For current Domino versions, a higher ODS is usually more appropriate; Create_R12_Databases (ODS 54) and CREATE_R14_DATABASES (ODS 55) are available accordingly.

Example configuration

Create_R10_Databases=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • For Domino 12+, Create_R12_Databases (ODS 54) is the more modern choice; for Domino 14+, use CREATE_R14_DATABASES (ODS 55).
  • Only enable one of these ODS-forcing parameters at a time.
  • Existing NSFs are migrated only on the next compact -upgrade.
  • Check the ODS version of a database via nsh "info" or show database <db>.
  • The change takes effect only after a server/client restart.
