lotus notes 8.5 fixup

Community Alumni User
so I'm new to lotus notes, and this question is probably over kill since i am just a user, and don't administer the server, but in another questions it was suggested to try running fixup. so i started googleing fixup and found this statement
  "Keep in mind that after you set up transaction logging, Fixup is not needed or used to bring databases back to a consistent state."    so I can't help but wonder why you wouldn't need something to fix a corrupted database if transaction logging is set? this suggests that transaction logging keeps databases from becoming corrupt. is that what transaction logging does? if so how?

    The best way to  do it is to rename the file then force a replication from a known good server.       

    If it is not too  corrupted you can do an updall -r and it will rebuild the indexes.

           

    Try running  nfixup.exe against it. If that doesn’t work, try ncompact -c against it.

           

    Note: ncompact  exists in all workstation installs. nfixup is not part of the client — you can  copy it off a server that runs at a similar NBotes version.

           

    Make sure to use  the -c option with compact (ncompact -c whatever\your\file.nsf)


    Another variant might be software for corrupt .nsf files https://www.repairtoolbox.com/lotusnotesrepair.html Lotus Notes Repair Toolbox
