Is there anyway other than recreate or rebuild of the dbdirman.nsf as the normal maintenance is of no use on the system DB's. Any suggestions

For what purpose?
Normally you never need to touch dbdirman.nsf. What are you hoping to accomplish?

Restarting Domino will recreate it
The dbdirman.nsf database will be recreated if it's not present when Domino starts. You can update the in-memory cache by just running the "show directory" command.

delete it....

if you delete it, it will be recreated on restart of the server (I think it will get recreated eventually if you don't restart the server, but I don't know how long you would have to wait)

hope that helps....

recreate DBDIRMAN

Stop the Domino server and delete the DBDIRMAN.NSF database. Restart the Domino server and the DBDIRMAN.NSF database is recreated.  You can also recreate the DBDIRMAN while the server is up by stopping the DBDIRMAN task.  You must Tell router quit, then Tell dmdirman quit, run DBFLUSH a couple of times, then delete the DBDIRMAN.NSF.  Then when you Load DBDIRMAN, the file should be recreated.

\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\ddm.nsf (need new backup for media recovery).
25/05/2015 04:14:12   Compacted  G:\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\ddm.nsf,
4608K bytes recovered (3%)
25/05/2015 04:14:14   Database compactor process shutdown
I have this kind of "Not found or not a Notes database"


On re-creating the dbdirman.nsf the issue resolve message goes away but again appear after few days need to re-create. Any advise on this.
