LO44468: ENHANCEMENT REQUEST : NEED A TOOL TO DELETE DOCUMENTS FROM DATAB ASE THAT GOES OVER 64GB FILE LIMIT

APAR status

• Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description

• Need a tool that can reduce the filesize of a Notes .nsf
  database if it passes
  the 64Gb limit.
  
  The tool could remove x number of documents, or split the
  database in two.
  A related tool is NotesPeek - but it doesn't allow you to delete
  documents.
  
  You can not open a database greater than 64Gb in size.
  This is a complete data loss for the customer
  
  No Lotus file utility will run on a database greater than 64Gb
  in size.
  It is a catch 22 position - you can not open the database to
  delete documents
  to make the database smaller.
  
  - Tried to run command compact -c -d -i, and fixup - they
  failed
