Description

TRANSLOG_Status enables or disables transactional logging on the Domino server. Enabled transaction logging delivers significantly faster server restarts (no full Fixup needed), better data integrity after crashes, and is a prerequisite for online backups, DAOS, and several other features.
Together with TRANSLOG_Path, TRANSLOG_Style, and TRANSLOG_MaxSize, the logging is fully configured.

Example configuration

TRANSLOG_Status=1
TRANSLOG_Path=D:\translog
TRANSLOG_Style=0
TRANSLOG_MaxSize=1024

Notes & pitfalls

  • After activation, the NSFs must be moved to the logged state once (compact with the Logged option or a new ODS).
  • The logging directory should be on a dedicated physical volume (I/O separation from the NSFs).
  • Keep it active on all members in a cluster – otherwise there can be inconsistencies on failover.
  • By default, transaction logging is disabled (0).
  • A server restart is required for changes to take effect.
