Yesterday I made NSFDB2 working on my test servers. I had this strange errormessage: "Error managing DB2 groups....DB2 Authorization violation" when I tried to compact a database to DB2.
I did the installation 3 or 4 times. DB2 enable ran successfull but compacting never succeeded. After checking every parameter several times I found the mistake. I entered a path for the "DB2 datastore directory". When I removed the entry for this field, compacting ran without issues.

The directory is only entered if you have created the directory instead of letting Domino create it when it firsts starts up.
Also only compact -B will impact the nsfdb2 database. There is now
a -g & -G compact command for groups. For a size reduction all
databases in a db2 group need to be compacted. If you use the the g
commands the database are moved to a new group to reduce the
storage used. G will do an entire group at one time, while g does
just one database by moving it to a new group.
Setting the group size to a smaller number will reduce the chance
of corruption and speed compaction. I run with 5 nsf to a group,
support has had us set it to 1 for a large heavily used app server.
Hi Bruce
thanks for your comment.
I learned the lesson:
