Stupid Question - How DO I Print From The Admin Client?

I know this seems really stupid, but I need to print out the View from the Admin Client showing a list of all mail files, quotas etc. This really should be easy, but the Print options are greyed out, and I don’t have time to p*ss about with the design to find another way.

Presumably i’m missing something pretty obvious, just because I don’t use the Admin Client very often.

Can anyone point this poor idiot in the right direction???

Subject: It’s not a stupid question…

If it is there, I don’t know where it is either.

I have to do screen prints to get the information I need to hassle users.

Sorry if I’m not any help. At least you know you aren’t the only one…

Good luck,

Brent

Webadmin gave me the solution :type “sh dir -xml” from domino console

You redirect the flow to a text file, then you (only) need to create the right style sheet to get what you need.

(hum, if you create one, pls send it do dgenot@act400.fr Thanks :wink:

Thanks guys, i’ll give that potential solution a try (but i’m a developer, not an adminstrator, so my knowledge of admin is sketchy to say the least).

It’s good to know i’m not just a complete muppet anyway!

More specifically the command would be:

“sh dir mail -xml” copy the output, paste into a text file, save it as, “filename.xml”. If you crack it open in IE, it will use it’s XSLT, for some reason mine will break towards the bottom. I will see what I can come up with for an XSLT that would look nice, something much better than screenshots :).

It’s not a perfect solution, and I’m not sure if this works ‘out-of-the-box’, but in our environment, I can access a Usage - By Size view in the Notes log from the server. Open the server’s log, expand Usage and select By Size. This lists the database name along with the size in KB, the % Used and Weekly Usage. This view can be printed or exported.

It’s a bit sucky because this view includes all databases on the server, when all I’m really interested in is the mail files. It it is much better than screen-shotting my way through the Admin client, though. :slight_smile:

Use the server command, and pipe the output to the file system.

Show dir -xml >filename.xml (important, leave no space between > and the filename).

Then transfer that file to your local desktop machine and you can import it with Excel. Excel will create the schema for you.

Does God exist?Why do we exist?

Why do people still use exchange/outlook?

etc etc

Alas I have had to use screenshots of these views in the admin client way too much:-(
