IMPORTANT: Do not use the Domino DATA folder for Transaction Logging. Lotus recommends that you create a folder on a separate physical drive to avoid having an impact on the server's performance. See the Lotus Domino Administrator's Guide for instructions on enabling Transaction Logging.
To identify whether Transaction Logging has been enabled, review the NOTES.INI file on the Domino Server for the following statements:
TRANSLOG_Status=1
TRANSLOG_Path=<x:Path_To_Log_Database>

IBM Lotus Domino R9, R8.5, and R8 (Data Directory)
|
Application:
|
IBM Lotus Domino R9, R8.5, R8
|
|
Exclusion:
|
|
|
Default path:
|
C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino\Data\
|
|
Details:
|
The Data folder is where only Domino databases are stored. No executables exist in this folder and all Domino databases are protected by the Security for Lotus Domino On-Access Database Scanner. ENS does not need to scan the databases in this folder. Exclude the folder from on-access and on-demand scanning by the desktop antivirus software.

IBM Lotus Domino on R9, R8.5, and R8 (Temporary folder)
|
Application
|
IBM Lotus Domino R9, R8.5, R8
|
|
Exclusion:
|
**\NOTES*\ with the subfeature "Also exclude subfolders"
|
|
Default path:
|
Lotus Domino TEMP Folder
When Domino Server started as a service:
%TEMP%Notes######
When Domino Server started as an application or under an account other than the system account:
\Document And Settings\<UserProfile>\Local Settings\Temp\Notes######\
|
|
Details:
|
The Lotus Domino R9/R8.5/R8 Servers by default have the temporary folder re-created each time the Domino Server is restarted. The folder is created with a new NOTES##### (##### = Random Hexadecimal value).
Solution 1:
Use wildcard commands to exclude the temp NOTES###### folders using the following exclusion in ENS:
**\NOTES*\ (with the subfeature Also exclude subfolders enabled)
Solution 2:
-
Edit the Domino Server's NOTE.INI.
-
Add the following statement and specify a path: NOTES_TEMPDIR=c:TempDomino
-
Save the changes.
-
Restart the Domino Server for the changes to take effect.
