Start/notes.ini Parameters/ServerTasksAt2

ServerTasksAt2

Description

Defines server tasks that are started automatically every day at 02:00 (full hour 2). In the default notes.ini settings of HCL Domino, the Updall task is typically entered here — it updates view and full-text indexes and discards no-longer-referenced indexes.
ServerTasksAt2 is part of the ServerTasksAt<N> family (N = 0 … 23). Each variable defines the tasks that should be started at the corresponding full hour.

Notes

  • During an upgrade install, ServerTasks and ServerTasksAt<N> are automatically reset by HCL Domino to the new default values (HCL KB0104793). Customizations are lost unless SetupLeaveServerTasks=1 is set before the upgrade.
  • For 02:00, UPDALL is the classic choice for a maintenance window, since Updall can produce noticeable I/O load on older indexes.
  • Cluster or multi-server environments benefit from program documents in the Domino Directory instead of the ServerTasksAt<N> variables, because program documents can be managed centrally.
  • There is only one ServerTasksAt<N> variable per hour; therefore all tasks intended to run at 02:00 must be listed in a single line, comma-separated.
