Title: Command or api to copy a domino database?

  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..

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!
