Overview
••••••••••
In early 2009 I was trialling one of the free Windows Sysinternals tools called "contig.exe" (v1.55) on my home Windows 2003 Domino server to see if I could defragment my NSFs while the Domino server was running and it worked fine. I have since incorporated it with a C++ Lotus Domino server task I developed called DominoDefrag using Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 and together they've defragged successfully on the R5x (NT4 and Windows 2000), R6x-R7x-R8x (Windows 2003 R2), and R85x (Windows 2008 R2) Domino servers trialled on.
It has grown to defrag a full-text index associated with a Notes database and can now also defrag a Domino server’s transaction log and DAOS files. The output is recorded to the Domino server console and miscellaneous events log. Annex B in the "DominoDefrag v2.3 Release Notes" PDF (published in the project's Docs section and distribution file) demonstrates the new functionality showing examples of Domino server console output with resulting summary e-mails. It also contains information on all version history, file attainment (IBM and Microsoft), installation steps, Notes INI options, command line options, developer visual studio workstation setup, screen shots, Spanish Lotus User Group (SLUG) independent performance review and other related references.

The DominoDefrag task has the added functionality of being able to compact a database prior to defragging. This gives more flexibility by not having to wait for an entire database compactor run to complete before running a defragmentation task. It also supports multi-processing (can load multiple times to run concurrently) and use of an indirect file (.ind) to have the same compact batch functionality. See technote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21208136
