Re: Command or api to copy a domino database?

Using CRTDUPOBJ would not work for an IFS object.  Futher, any OS function
would require the server be ended before copying the object..

If you would like to create a copy of a database which does not share the
replica ID with the original database I would suggest using the C api
COPYDB
There is a sample written for this API in the QNTCSDK library in a file
called COPYDB.  I hope this helps.
If you do not have the QNTCSDK you need to install the API toolkit .

Glenn,

        Sorry I don't understand  your question.  David as I understood the
post, was looking for the way to  create a duplicate copy of a NSF on the
server as a backup or duplicate to make  changes to going forward.  If you
just do a simple copy like a CRTDUPOBJ  you do not change the Replica Id
and therefore you do not create a new unique  NSF on the server.  Using the
New Copy function does create a new Replica  Id and therefore a new unique
object.  I believe the API function I  referenced would also do the same
thing for him..

Jeffrey,
why do you rule out Dominos LEI and /or DECS  replication functions?

Replication sequence numbers are important part  of the process, I thought.

David,

If you just do a dos link copy of the NS you do  not create a new replica
Id so you can get into a lot of trouble. What you  really need to do is use
the New Copy function. From a Workspace, it would  be;

a.) Click on the Icon
b.) File / Database / New Copy
Server = A / B
Title = Change Name to Identify New Object
File  Name = Change Name to Identify New Object..
c.) Click "OK"
d.) Review  ACL for old and new NSF..

Or you can look at using the C API toolkit  which has a NSFDbCreateAndCopy
which I beleive will do the same thing... Not  sure where, Maybe
ServerAdmin, but I think I have seen a version of this  around in a form
that you could have a CLP submit a Domino Csl command to  make this
happen..


HTH,

Folks:

I have  need to copy a domino database on the AS/400 (within a CL or RPG
program)  so that it's replication id is different.

Does anyone know of a way  to do this? A command or API would be fine.

Thanks!

david
