Disable specialized response hierarchy information
By default every document stores information that associates it with a parent document or a response document. Only the @functions @AllChildren and @AllDescendants, which are often used in view selection and replication formulas, use this stored information. Maintaining this information has a significant, negative effect on database performance.
To improve database performance, disable the response hierarchy information in databases that don't use these @functions by selecting the Advanced database property "Don't support specialized response hierarchy."
Disabling the response hierarchy information has no effect on views and replication formulas that display information hierarchically without using @AllChildren and @AllDescendants.
Disabling the response hierarchy information sets NotesDocument.Responses to 0 documents.
If you select or deselect the "Don't support specialized response hierarchy" property, you must compact the database so that the setting takes effect. Compacting in this case makes a temporary copy of the database, so your system must have the disk space to make the copy.
Tip You can also run the Compact server task with the -h or -H option to enable or disable this property and then compact.
