We have a resource reservation database on a server that is going to be retired. Ideally we would like to move this database to the new server seamlessly.Can we just replicate to the new server and take the original off-line? Will we have to do anything to the busytime on either server?
Subject: Move resource reservation db
You will need to edit the site docs in the resource db and modify all the mail in db for these resource/room docs in names.nsfto the new server name (dbname and directory as well if that changes) . I would suggest doing this with the router down on both old and new servers. Make the changes to the nab on the new server and then replicate the changes to the old server . Leave the old server up until the nab changes replicate around to all the servers.
If the new domino server is 6 issue Tell Sched Validate
If the new server is a higher version that the old server you need to do a replace design on the resource db with the resource template for that version.
If the domino server is 7 or above make sure the RnRMgr task is loaded in the notes.ini

Thanks for that. Will the validate command automatically populate busytime on the new server?
