Start/notes.ini Parameters/ServerTasksAt3

ServerTasksAt3

Description

Defines server tasks that are started automatically every day at 03:00 (full hour 3). In the default notes.ini settings of HCL Domino, the setup typically writes a maintenance task here — in many standard setups this is Object Collect mailbox.box, which removes no-longer-referenced shared-mail objects from MAIL.BOX.
ServerTasksAt3 belongs to the ServerTasksAt<N> family (N = 0 … 23). Each variable defines the server tasks that are 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.
  • Which tasks the setup writes by default for ServerTasksAt3 may differ slightly between versions — the authoritative value is whatever HCL Domino writes to notes.ini during server setup/upgrade.
  • 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 (HCL Domino 11.0.1 „Domino server tasks“).
  • There is only one ServerTasksAt<N> variable per hour; therefore all tasks intended to run at 03:00 must be listed in a single line, comma-separated.
