ADMINISTRATION TOOLS

Forcing an administration process request to run
The recommended method of forcing an administration process request to run is to issue one of these commands from the Domino server console:
CommandAbbreviated commandDescription
tell adminp process newtell adminp p neProcesses requests scheduled as immediate or interval
tell adminp process immediatetell adminp p imProcesses requests scheduled as immediate
tell adminp process intervaltell adminp p inProcesses requests scheduled as interval
tell adminp process dailytell adminp p daProcesses requests scheduled as daily
tell adminp process delayedtell adminp p deProcesses requests scheduled as delayed
tell adminp process mail policytell adminp p maApplies mail policy to affected user's mail file
Follow this procedure to force a request to occur immediately instead of waiting for the Administration Process to initiate the request based on the timing schedule.

1. From the Domino Administrator, select the remote server.

2. Choose Server - Status - Server Console.

3. In the Domino Command field, enter a command from table above and click Send:

These commands check ADMIN4.NSF for new unprocessed requests that match the criteria specified in the command. For example, the command "tell adminp process interval" checks ADMIN4.NSF for new interval requests and queues those requests as if the interval time has expired.

Do not use the command "tell adminp process all" due to performance issues that are created when you run that command. The "tell adminp process all" command simulates a restart of the administration process; therefore, this command waits until all previous requests are processed before starting the next request process. This "wait" is in the main thread of the administration process; therefore, new requests that are received after the console command is issued will wait as well, regardless of request schedule. This command slows the rate at which the administration process requests are run. This is especially true for requests that require a lengthy processing time, such as changing a name in an ACL.
