'Tuner Blog

This is the first post for the 'Tuner Blog, in which I'll be covering changes to the tool and expansion of the rule catalog.  Catalog expansion is our primary focus at this point so that we're creating the most value from the results.  I'm particularly interested to know if you're using the tool, and if so, how?  Are you making recommended changes?  How are you quantifying the impact of these changes?  Are there changes that you are intentionally avoiding, and if so, why?  Please comment!

Also, I really do think that DCT does rule, but today I'm talking about new the latest version of DCT.NTF and the new rules that we've added to the DCT catalog.  If you click the "Check for Updates" button, you'll get a new template, complete with new rules!    This release contains new rules for Transaction Log formatting, memory management rules for Domino servers running versions prior to 8.0, server session timeout.

• If you're using transaction logging and running Domino 8.5 on your server, setting CREATE_R85_LOG=1 in the server's notes.ini can improve the formatting of the log.
• Running server versions prior to 8.0?  The new rules NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE and NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE_MB can help ease your Domino memory tuning pain.  PercentAvailSysResources will provide further memory tuning suggestions.
• ServerSessionTimeout implementation is now complete, as well, providing suggestions for tuning Domino session timeouts.

Enjoy!
