About this task

When the Domino server detects that a database has corruption, Domino automatically stores the corrupted database as a separate file in a separate directory. You can enable and control the automatic collection of all corrupt databases by setting certain Domino configuration variables. Or, you can capture corruption values manually for a specific database.

Databases will not be collected, automatically or with the dbcapture tool, in the following cases:

• The DATABASE_CAPTURE_LIMIT has been reached.
• Collecting the database would exceed the total size for collected databases as set in DATABASE_CAPTURE_SIZE_LIMIT.
• The database has already been collected.
• The database is being processed by the compact or fixup tasks.

1. Collecting corruption data for all databases on a server
The automatic detection and collection of corrupted database occurs at database open. The automatic facility will collect any database detected to have corruption within the configuration parameters currently active.

2. Capturing corruption data for a specific database
The dbcapture tool is provided as a standalone tool to collect a specific database manually at the discretion of the administrator or user.
