Use the file system to copy the NSF file. If you need a diffrerent replica ID, there are various tools for changing it – for example, the code here.

Hi,

I have a mail database sitting on the server, I open it through C API then I want to copy the same to the local system and perform some search queries. I am using C API for copying the Database by passing the Handle. Actually i am using COPYDB sample as reference. But, the document NOTEID’s are getting changed after the new Database is created.

Can you suggest me is there a way using C API.

Thanks in advance,

The API does not allow you to control note IDs. It is better if you use universal IDs. These do not change when you copy the database.

Hi,

I searched the C API, but not successful to get the UNID form NOTEID. Can you suggest me how to get this.

Thanks in advance,

NSFNoteGetInfo does that.By the way, in the C API User Guide there is an appendix with useful information about note IDs.
