Description

Domino and the Notes client load additional configuration values at runtime from the server configuration document or from the Notes settings of a policy. This process is called Dynamic Configuration and can cause confusion when a value set in notes.ini is unexpectedly overwritten or a policy value does not take effect.
DEBUG_DYNCONFIG=1 writes detailed trace entries: which values were read, merged, or overridden from which source. This makes it easy to see whether there is a parameter conflict between notes.ini, the configuration document, and a policy.

Example configuration

DEBUG_DYNCONFIG=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Takes effect after a server restart or client restart.
  • Entries appear on the server in console.log, on the client in notes.log / the debug log file.
  • Enable only temporarily – otherwise logs quickly become hard to read.
  • Complementary to Debug_Outfile, set config (server), and the server configuration document.
  • For client policy diagnosis, also consider Debug_Notes_Settings=1.
