DAOS restore- removing manual intervention

Hi,

Can manual intervention be avoided during restore. Can we automate generation of a file which contains missing NLO’s for the database(s). while restoring the data (.nsf files), we have three steps:-

  1. Restore NSF (s) (use lotus API’s)

  2. FInd missing NLO’s for these NSF’s you just restored and generate a text file containing the list of missing NLo’s.

  3. Provide the path of the text file generated in step2 and restore utility will restore missing NLO’s.

Can we automate second step somehow? I want my application to take all these three steps without any manual intervention. WHAT DOES IBM RECOMMEND IN SUCH SCENERIOS?

  1. Is it possible to get the list of missing NLO’s for a particular database from an executable?

  2. Is it possible to get the list of missing NLO’s for a list of nsf files in one command.

a) from any command on server console

b) from executable.

We know that we can run nserver.exe -d “tell daosmgr listlno.txt missing dbname.nsf” , in a batch command from our application and generate this file. But this is dirty implementation, as error returning and reliablity is questionable. Also we will have to run it for each and every database, so if user is restoring 50 dbs then we will have to execute it 50 times.

Can you suggest any ways to automate it?

Thanks,
