Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Editing the NOTES.INI file
You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
NOTES.INI Settings
The NOTES.INI settings described here can be set in the Configuration document of the Domino® server.
Default_Index_Lifetime_Days
Specifies a default lifetime for view indexes if none was selected by the database designer in the view properties box.

Default_Index_Lifetime_Days

Specifies a default lifetime for view indexes if none was selected by the database designer in the view properties box.
