AS/400: MSF Version of SMTP Creates Files in the Notes Data Directory with Graphic Characters

Technote Number: 1088014


Problem:
This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering and has been addressed in
Domino for AS/400 release 5.0a.

Excerpt from the AS/400-Specific Lotus Notes & Lotus Domino Release 5.0a
Quarterly Maintenance Update (QMU) fix list:

SPR # TFOT48BKM5 Fixed a problem where MSF version of SMTP creates files in the Notes data
directory with graphic characters.


These files do not affect Domino server operation but do take up DASD space. A
fix for this problem is provided in QMU 5.0a. Applying the QMU prevents
additional erroneous files from being created, but does not delete the existing
ones. Development has created a special program, called DIRCLEAN, that removes
all erroneous files from the Domino server data directory, thus freeing up the
DASD space.

Use the following URL to download the DIRCLEAN program:

http://www.as400.ibm.com/lotus_notes/dirclean/dirclean.htm

After applying the new QMU (5.0a) do the following:

From the AS/400 command line, type:

CALL DIRCLEAN 'the Notes Data directory with the bad files' and press ENTER.

As an example, you have a system called RCHAS20D with a server name of SMTP1.
You use the name '/SMTP1/NOTES/DATA' as the Data directory for the server.
From the AS/400 command line, type CALL DIRCLEAN '/SMTP1/NOTES/DATA' and press
ENTER. The directory will be cleaned of the bad files.

Note: The DIRCLEAN program may run for a long period of time if the Data
directory has many bad files.Supporting Information:
