Description
Encapsulation Database
Do not edit this field.
A copy of the message is encased in the encapsulation database.
The database is then renamed (for example, encap001.nsf,
encap002.nsf) and added as an attachment to the message.
Temporary Work Are a
This field lists the directory on the message processing server that
temporarily stores the encapsula tion databases while the messages
are being encapsulated.
Use the following formula to compute the amount of disk space
required for each work area. Note that each message is 320 KB while
it is being encapsulated.
320KBx2xnumberofmessages
(To determine the number of messages, monitor router traffic for
several days, and note the traffic size and approximate number of
encapsulated messages per 24–hour period.)
Important! Always create a new directory for the work area, making
sure the following conditions are met:
• Ensure that ea ch preprocessing database (for journaling,
selective archiving, and bulk upload) has a separate director y or
sub-directory in order to avoid file name collisions.
• Do not use the temporary directory for the work area or create
subdirectories within the o perating system’s temporary directory.
• Make sure the work area refers to a drive different than the one
holding user mail files.
• For security reasons, make sure the work area is not contained in the
Domino data directory, or in any subdirectory- or director y-linked
area that is visible to Notes clients or browser users. For example,
do not enter D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\RIM_TEMP if that is
the p ath to your Domino data root. Do not share this directory in
your network.
Using Windows Remote Desktop, Telnet, or another terminal window,
connect to the server an d issue the appropriate commands to create
the directory identified in this tab.
For example, on a Windows-based Domino server , enter:
C:
CD\
MKDIR RIM_TEMP
CD RIM_TEMP
MKDIR MNR
Ensure that security settings on the server allow access to the directory
that you create. On UNIX-based servers, make sure that the owner,
group, and permissions for the directory are the same as the owner,
group, and permissions for the server’s data root directory. Typically,
the following commands accomplish th is:
chown domino:domino RIM_TEMP
chmod 755 RIM_TEMP
CleanUp Purge Interval
The temporary files in the work area are automatically purged after they
are processed successfully. This field sets the inter val between purges.
Keep the default of 2 hours.
