Support for Database Filenames with Spaces in IND File Processing

IND file processing in HCL Domino currently does not support database names containing spaces (e.g., mail\test user1.nsf). When such entries are included, maintenance tasks like Compact fail with “file not found” errors and skip those databases. This limitation impacts environments with legacy naming conventions, preventing efficient bulk maintenance using IND files and increasing administrative overhead. It is recommended to enhance IND file parsing to support paths with spaces (e.g., via quoting or escaping in all platforms) and improve error messaging for better clarity.
