Copy all elements from a database to a blank database

Hi,

I have a question for you, do you know a way to copy all elements from a database automatically to a blank database? Elements: Forms, subforms, views, agents, etc).

Thanks,

Sunny

Subject: Yes

Very simple:File, Application, New Copy and check the box Application design only. i would also suggest you click Encryption and turn off local encryption for your copy, especially if you plan to share it with someone else.

Subject: Re: Yes

Hi,

I know how to do that. :slight_smile: My question is if you know a way, like coding an agent to do that automatically?

Thanks,

Sunny

Subject: Hi Carl again

If you would like, I need your help with the following:

I have a list of databases that we need to migrate from one server to another, so I need to redirect the forms from the original destination to the new destination, so my plan is as follows:

1.- Create a database template with the redirecting scripts.

2.- Create a local template copy of the original database based on the template created in item 1.

3.- Copy all objects,(forms, views, agents, etc), from the original database to the local copy on item 2.

4.- Replace the original database with template on item 2.

I would like to do something automated like an agent performing these operations, etc.

Do you have an idea of how this could be done?

Subject: Easier way

If you want to move all apps off to the new server why not just make they new server a cluster with the old server and then bring down the old server. If it is a mail server you might want to send out a button to update the location docs and also modify the person docs as well.

Subject: Who not use the tools you have?

There are two easy ways to do this.

The first one is if you want the database copied first, so you can test it for a while on the new server before you remove it from the old server:

  1. Create replicas of the databases on the new server, using Domino Administrator.

  2. After all the data have replicated over, delete the replicas on the old server, again using Domino Administrator.

If you just want to move the database right away, use the normal move functionality in Domino Administrator:
