About this task

Enabling the setting marks the database for participation in attachment consolidation. The consolidation feature must also be enabled in the Server document (DAOS tab), and transaction logging must also be enabled.

You must be at least a database administrator to enable the setting. If a database is not upgraded to the current ODS level, the Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS) property does not display on the Advanced tab.

Enabling the setting for an existing database consolidates only attachments created and saved in the database from then on. To consolidate both existing attachments and new ones, run a copy-style compact operation on the database after enabling the setting.

If you enable DAOS for mail databases, you may want to enable DAOS for allMAIL.BOX files on the server. Doing this can reduce disk and network I/O between the MAIL.BOX and the destination mail boxes on the server.
