LO38951: ENHANCEMENT REQUEST - PROGRESS INDICATOR FOR THE CONSISTENCY CHE CK TASK IS NEEDED

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Currently, there is no way to determine the progress of the
  Consistency Check task.  It is not uncommon for the Consistency
  Check to take as long as five or
  six hours on a large database.  Domino admin have asked the
  following questions about the Consistency Check:
  
  1.  How can we stop the Consistency Check?
  2.  How long does a Consistency Check usually take?
  3.  Is it possible that the Consistency Check task has hung?
  4.  We need to access the database, but the Consistency Check
  has locked the database.  Is there any way to access the
  database while the Consistency Check is running?
  5.  So, when a Consistency Check is running, our only real
  option is to just "wait it out"?
  
  When a Consistency Check is run on a big/important database,
  that database is inaccessible.  Quite often, this
  inaccessibility is very bad for a company.  If the Domino Admin
  was able to find out the progress of the Consistency Check, then
  he could more effectively make plans.  As it is, he just has to
  sit and wait for the Consistency Check to finish.  That is very
  inefficient and causes a loss of productivity.
  
  A progress meter for the Consistency Check task would be very
  useful.
