Description

ServerTasksAt1 (and ServerTasksAt2 … ServerTasksAt5) define time-scheduled server tasks. The number corresponds to the hour in 24-h format at which the respective task is started automatically once a day – so ServerTasksAt2 starts at 02:00.
This mechanism is typically used for nightly maintenance runs such as catalog updates, full-text index maintenance, or statistics logging.

Example configuration

ServerTasksAt1=Catalog
ServerTasksAt2=UpdAll -R
ServerTasksAt5=Statlog

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only the fixed slots ServerTasksAt1–ServerTasksAt5 exist. For finer control (weekdays, intervals), use the Program document in the Domino Directory.
  • Stagger long-running tasks so they do not overlap.
  • In cluster environments, make sure that, e.g., Compact or UpdAll -R do not run on all nodes at the same time.
  • Activity is traceable in log.nsf and on the console.
  • Changes only take effect after a server restart.
