Re: Command or api to copy a domino database?

["Walter Scanlan" <wscanlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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..

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
