DominoDefrag v3.1 Release Notes Sep. 29 Overview
DominoDefrag is an open source C API Lotus Domino server task I developed using Visual Studio C++. It uses "contig.exe" (v1.55) to defrag Domino databases on all 32bit and 64bit Windows server versions and will also defrag a full-text index associated with a Notes database and the Domino server’s transaction log and DAOS files. The output is recorded to the Domino server console and miscellaneous events log.
DominoDefrag has the added functionality of being able to compact a database prior to defragging and supports multi-processing (can load multiple times to run concurrently) and use of an indirect file (.ind) to have the same compact batch functionality.
Performance checks can also be tested using generated document collections to determine the before and after defrag millisecond read performance of databases and their associated full-text indexes.
DominoDefrag now incorporates “jkdefragcmd.exe” (v3.36) for Domino data volume free space consolidation and “fast sort” file placement optimization. In conjunction with “contig.exe” and the compact task (ncompact.exe) they provide the functionality outlined below:
Order Utility Description 1 jkdefragcmd.exe Consolidates free space (-a5), alphabetically sorts all file placements (-a7) and performs a complete defrag and fast sort optimization (-a3) of the Domino data volume.
It runs as a separate function and can take some time to perform. Runs when DominoDefrag_OptimizeDataVolume=1
2 ncompact.exe Compacts a database when DominoDefrag_Compact=1. If DominoDefrag_FreeSpace=x also used only compacts the database that has > x% unused space
3 DominoDefrag.exe Optimizes a database to have x% unused space (free space) = 100%-x used space when DominoDefrag_FreeSpace=x
4 contig.exe Defrags a database. When DominoDefrag_FreeSpace=x ensures future Domino writes will be made into the free space residing on one contiguous fragment. It will defrag a database’s full-text index when DominoDefrag_FTIndex=1, the Domino server’s transaction log when DominoDefrag_TransactionLog=1 and the Domino server’s DAOS files when DominoDefrag_DAOS=1
5 jkdefragcmd.exe Performs a “fast sort” file placement optimization of database, full- text, transaction log or DAOS files when DominoDefrag_OptimizeFiles=1

DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition
The "DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition" product comprises a mail-in database with file name "DominoDefragEE.nsf" and business support for it and the current "DominoDefrag.exe" (provided on OpenNTF) under an Enterprise Support Agreement (ESA) upon full fee payment.
A fully functioning “DominoDefragEE.nsf” mail-in database can be downloaded from ftp://notestools.com/DominoDefragEE.zip , but has limited support and can only process one Server Defrag Profile and run on one Domino server within your domain. A new “DominoDefragEE.nsf” mail-in database will be provided configured with owner license details upon full fee payment.
The new DominoDefrag_EnterpriseSupport INI parameter specifies that the “DD_ServerLog.csv” and “DD_DatabaseLog.csv” files should be created and attached to the summary email for use by the DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition mail-in database. Only works when the mail-in database e-mail address is specified using the DominoDefrag_SummaryEmailAddress parameter.
If you would like to get an obligation free quote to purchase the DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition (price includes one year business support and software maintenance), please complete the Contact form (also providing the number of Domino server licenses you require) at https://notestools.com/index.php?p=1_16 .
Note: Other Information such as your Domino Domain name and number of “DominoDefragEE.nsf” instances will be requested if you decide to purchase the "DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition" product.

DominoDefrag v3.1 Release Notes Sep. 29 Domino Data Volume Free Space Consolidation and Optimization
A question that’s been posed to me several times is why does “contig.exe” only do a partial defrag of some large Domino databases? The answer is "contig.exe" simply looks to move the fragmented database to the first contiguous gap (defragmented free space) on the disk volume that is big enough. If there is no gap big enough then "contig.exe" will reduce the number of fragments in the file by moving as much of the file as possible into the largest gaps available.
The DominoDefrag server task now uses the "JkDefragcmd.exe” utility to consolidate and optimize the free space on the Domino data volume in preparation, so that these partial database defrags will be complete database defrags next time “contig.exe” processes them. It has been implemented to operate as a separate function and I’d recommend something you would perform once a month.
Figure 1 below shows a Windows 2000 Domino data volume which “contig.exe” has been running on for a while.
Figure 1 - Windows 2000 Domino Data Volume using “contig.exe”
Figure 2 below shows the result of using the DominoDefrag_OptimizeDataVolume=1 parameter to tell DominoDefrag to use "JkDefragcmd.exe” to consolidate free space (-a5), alphabetically sort all file placements (-a7) and perform a complete defrag and “fast sort” optimization (-a3) of the Windows 2000 Domino data volume. A similar strategy is recommended on the http://kessels.com/jkdefrag/ page.

Figure 2- Windows 2000 Domino Data Volume using “JkDefragcmd.exe”
Optimizing Database Free Space
A Notes database is proportioned into used and unused space (also called free space). Free space is only recovered when it’s compacted; otherwise Domino will continue writing data into the free space until it’s full and has to allocate more. Defragging a database after optimizing the free space (unused space) ensures future writes will be made into the free space that resides within the database on one contiguous fragment.
The new DominoDefrag_FreeSpace Notes INI parameter attempts to optimize the free space (unused space) to the percentage specified and will only allow a compact to occur if there's a greater percentage free space.
The new DominoDefrag_FreeSpaceMaxMB ensures that the amount of unused space optimized (new free space that can be pre-allocated) is limited to the specified megabyte amount (when not specified it defaults to 1MB). For example, if DominoDefrag_FreeSpace=10 and set to DominoDefrag_FreeSpaceMaxMB=5, only 5MB of unused space is optimized for a 1GB database and not 100MB. This is vital because it allows you to estimate increased disk usage with certainty, because in the worst case, 100% used space would mean at most the database size would only increase by 5MB.

DominoDefrag v3.1 Release Notes Sep. 29 Optimizing File Placement
Performs a “fast sort” file placement optimization of database, full-text, transaction log or DAOS files when DominoDefrag_OptimizeFiles=1 after defragmentation has occurred. The “fast sort” file placement optimization attempts to keep Domino files in the same zone – that is together, closer to the beginning of the hard disk and therefore means the hard disk head doesn’t have to travel as far to get the Domino data. Therefore, faster I/O!
Note: Optimizing file placement is discussed more on the http://kessels.com/jkdefrag/ page.

DominoDefrag v3.1 Release Notes Sep. 29 Annex A – DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition Features and Setup
Features
Create a Server Defrag Profile per Domino Server to control “DominoDefrag.exe” execution and report on activity Record all Server and Defrag defragmentation activities. Only need to implement in one place in your Domino domain as a mail-in database to capture all Domino server defragmentation activities. Control all Domino server DominDefrag Notes INI settings Generate Excel and Symphony charts on Domino server total and average information. Register the DominoDefrag task in the domadmin.nsf so you can see it when monitoring server tasks in the Domino adminstrator Generate IND files and much more…..
DominoDefrag Enterprise Edition Setup Steps
Identify
Identify the R6x-R8x Domino server where the mail-in database (MIDB) will reside in your Domino Domain Identify the infrastructure template signing ID you’re going to use to sign it and what the ID's home mail server is. Identify the Domino server(s) running the DominoDefrag server task that you want to send a summary email from to the MIDB for processing.
Access
The infrastructure template signing ID will require Sign or run unrestricted methods and operations specified in the mail-in database's home Domino Server document (see Figure 4)
Figure 4 - Server Document Restrictions
Sign the DominoDefragEE.nsf database with the infrastructure template signing ID (see Figure 5).

If the mail-in database server is not the signing ID's home mail server, the Process Summary Messages agent will not run. Fix this by adding AMGR_DISABLEMAILLOOKUP=1 to the Domino server's Notes INI file and restarting the Domino server.
