Look Into Your Notes.ini, Please

December 3, 2008 – 10:08 am

If you recently have installed a new Domino server and enabled the compression of the TCPIP Port during install, the server notes.ini parameter has a wrong value set.

The line added to the notes.ini file is as follows: TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,,32
The correct value is TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,,12320

To correct the problem, take the following steps to set the correct value:

  • Launch the Domino server.
  • Disable the TCPIP port compression.  To do so in the Domino Administrator client, go to Configurations -> Tools -> Server -> Ports Setup.
  • Save the document.
  • Enable the compression again, and Save.

  2. Interesting…

    I just double checked a newly built server and sure enough, I have TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,,32 in my notes.ini

    I tried the steps that you mention, but I get no change in the notes.ini
    I receive a popup box that says “You must restart port or server for changes to take effect”

    What happens if you just change the notes.ini variable to TCPIP=TCP,0,15,0,,12320 and wait for your server to reboot?

  3. Instead of restarting the server you can type
    restart port TCPIP
    on the server console. Changing the notes.ini manually and restarting the entire server is also an option.

  4. Any thoughts on what impact having this set incorrectly might have?

  6. Indeed on our server we had the same problem. I fixed it with the solution above. But when i looked in the log.nsf -by usage -by database i saw that compression already was displayed (KBbytescompressed & KBBytesuncompressed)
