Description

With CREATE_R14_DATABASES=1, Domino creates newly created (or compact -upgrade-migrated) databases in ODS 55 format. This is the Object Store version introduced with Domino 14, with further performance optimizations, larger limits, and improvements for DAOS and NIFNSF.
It is the up-to-date choice on Domino 14+; for older servers, Create_R12_Databases (ODS 54) and Create_R10_Databases (ODS 52) are available analogously.

Example configuration

CREATE_R14_DATABASES=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Requires Domino 14 or higher.
  • Only enable one ODS-forcing parameter at a time.
  • Existing NSFs are migrated only on the next compact -upgrade.
  • Replication to servers < 14 still works (lower ODS on the target server).
  • The change takes effect only after a server/client restart and affects only newly created/migrated NSFs.
