Description

After an unclean server stop, Domino runs a transaction log recovery on the next start. If a database remains inconsistent afterwards (e.g. because the translog does not cover all changes), TRANSLOG_AutoFixup decides how to proceed:
  • 1 (default): the Fixup task is automatically launched for the affected databases.
  • 0: the databases are marked as “needs fixup”; the administrator must start Fixup manually.
In production, 1 should remain active so that after crashes the server returns to availability with as little intervention as possible. Only in forensic scenarios (“no changes to the data before analysis”) does 0 make sense.

Example configuration

TRANSLOG_AutoFixup=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only effective when TRANSLOG_Status=1 (translog enabled).
  • Takes effect after a server restart.
  • Can be maintained in the Server document under “Transactional Logging” (preferred).
  • Complementary to TRANSLOG_Status, TRANSLOG_Style, TRANSLOG_Path.
