Recreate Addressbook

Hello,

We have a Notes Contact Application which is build based on a domino directory resided on server A. It is configred in a directory assistance on Server B as a additonal addressbook.

I have esatblished a program document in the DOMINO administration to recreate all notes application every sunday (compact -replica -restart) and restart the server after that process.

This works good but has a special negative side effect: The contacts in the Contact Application are not available after that process on server B. If I open the configuration document in the directory assistance database on server B and save it, the contacts from contact application are suddenly available. So it seems that Server A is loosing the connection to Contact Application during recreate/restart and doesnt establish it again after that.

Any ideas what to do?

Why?

Recommendations:
#1 : Dont run compact, seriously... why do you need to run this type of compact at all?
You dont need to fight for free disk space, just keep the free disk space---but keep it inside of the NSF file. Only compact when the whitespace exceeds 20%
These are the program documentsI did recommend for a Domino 8.5 server

#2 - Watch your servers disk fragmentation. By running compact over and over again you'll just increase the disk fragmentation and your server will run slower than ever before.

Why not?

This feature is a new one.

I have seen the description here: http://de.slideshare.net/Novakenstein/whats-new-in-ibm-domino-version-9-social-edition?utm_source=slideshow02&utm_medium=ssemail&utm_campaign=share_slideshow (page 23)

Is IBM developing new features which we should not use? Or is there a restriction to use this compact-options only for system databases?

At first I tried the new dbmt tool to do the same thing (program document dbmt -compactThreads 8 -updallThreads 8 -range 2:00AM 10:00AM -compactNdays 5 -force 1). But until now I had no success with this call.

And anyway, where is the context between recreate a addressbook and lose the connection to this addressbook, which is registered in a directory assistance on an other server? ...And additional recreate this connection, only by open the document in the directory assistance database and save the unchanged document again.
