With most new IBM Lotus HCL Notes versions, there is a new ODS upgrade which makes databases smaller, more efficient and faster. In order to upgrade local users' databases a Notes.ini setting has to be deployed, followed by running compact - c on the local workstation. Before starting this process, please visit visit http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21429889 for more information.

1. Create a new "Notes.ini Management" action in your MarvelClient config database )(or add to an existing INI management action).

2. Set the INI variable to either Createeither Create_R85R12_Databases=1 for Lotus HCL Notes versions 810.50.x and above and to Create_R8R10_Databases=1 for Lotus Notes version 8.0.x

3.  Apply appropriate conditions to this action (such as "for anyone with Notes 810.0x or 80.5.x and above), then name, save and close this action.

...

4.Populate the "Wait?, Timeout and Text" sections of the Run Program action as desires, then name, save and close it.

Note: If a locking maintenance task such as compact -c is attempted to be run on a locked file such as names.nsf, it will not execute right away but rather flag the database for compaction upon next startup (for Notes 8 and up that is - on releases < 8, a compact may not ever be carried out for such locked databases).
