Jeffrey,

I am not contesting your solutions, but simply asking why not consider the use of Dominos replication products DECS for interactive style and or LEI for batch style. Since these are built for NSF or 400DB et al replication then why not use them and the methodology these invoke to control replication ?


In a nut shell if the end product and integrity were the same is it: easy of use, performance, manageability, flexibility .... which led to your selection?

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,

Subject: Command or api to copy a domino database?


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
