\"splitNSF database may cause serious problems for IBM Notes (Lotus Notes) users if they are large or oversized. Think how difficult the email management task could be if you’re having large-sized files. It may affect the performance of IBM Notes, or sometimes it may lead to file corruption. In order to avoid such unwanted occurrence, you can split your NSF database file into multiple smaller parts. Once an NSF database is split into multiple parts, you can easily manage them.<\/p>\n

Is your NSF database file too large to handle comfortably? This would be annoying you for sure. Most of the time NSF database users ask if there’s a way to split a large-sized file into multiple smaller parts in order to simplify database management and to have much faster processing. Before I go any further, let’s talk about NSF file first.<\/p>\n

What is NSF Database?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

IBM Notes, which was formerly known as Lotus Notes, is a client software application that provides business collaboration functions, such as email<\/em>, calendar<\/em>, contact management<\/em>, instant messaging<\/em>, blogging<\/em>, database management<\/em>, programming<\/em>, etc. Many of us use IBM Notes as an email client application. It contains all the features which are available in other email client software like MS Outlook. Like other email clients, IBM Notes also creates a file for storing collaborative business information, such as email messages, calendar data, etc. The file is known as NSF (Notes Storage Facility), a database file that stores data in document units called “notes”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The excessive use and constant work on IBM Notes will surely increase the size of your database. Sometimes, the increasing file size may result in corruption, or it may also cause slow performance in IBM Notes. Additionally, having a large-sized NSF database file may lead to various difficulties in file management. Therefore, it becomes necessary to split NSF database file into multiple parts. In such situation, people start wondering how they can split NSF database file into multiple parts.<\/p>\n

Split NSF database File<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

To split NSF database file into multiple parts, you can take help of IBM Notes client software. It has a built-in feature that allows users to drag and drop the data items from one database to another one. Though this feature doesn’t split the database, it can move the data item in order to decrease the file size. For example, you have an NSF database file of 1 GB. You can create a new database file and move some data items into it from the old database file. But before using this manual trick, don’t forget to back up your NSF database.<\/p>\n

A manual trick is not always safe, i.e. sometimes it may cause data loss or other serious problems. Therefore, I recommend you to take backup of your files before you can use any manual trick. But if you use smart solution, there’s no need to worry about your NSF database. It keeps your file intact or untouched during the entire operation.
