How to copy files from one Domino server to another | |||
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 | |||
Recently I needed to make "copies" of some Lotus Notes databases and didn't want to do it from my Notes client. This would have take hours considering the database was 5gb. I knew that there had to be a way to do this and thanks to the assistance of my friend Thomas Gumz, I was able to issue a command line from the Domino server console and presto, the database was instantly copied. Yes, it's not documented nor supported, but has been around for a long time, at least since V4 according to Thomas. | |||
So let's look at what you need to do to enable this feature: | |||
The server console commands are turned off by default, you need to first enable them: | |||
Set this server notes.ini variable, like so: | |||
> set config CLUSTER_ADMIN_ON=1 (even if the server is not a in cluster, doesn't matter). | |||
No need to restart the server, it becomes active immediately. | |||
This enables this new command: | |||
CL COPY sourcedb targetdb | |||
Examples for the CL COPY command: | |||
> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf | |||
This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB | |||
> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf REPLICA | |||
This would create a replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB | |||
> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf TEMPLATE | |||
This would create a template copy (only design, no data) of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB | |||
> CL copy db1.nsf db2.nsf | |||
This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf as db2.nsf on the same local server | |||

How to copy files from one Domino server to another Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 Recently I needed to make "copies" of some Lotus Notes databases and didn't want to do it from my Notes client. This would have take hours considering the database was 5gb. I knew that there had to be a way to do this and thanks to the assistance of my friend Thomas Gumz, I was able to issue a command line from the Domino server console and presto, the database was instantly copied. Yes, it's not documented nor supported, but has been around for a long time, at least since V4 according to Thomas.
So let's look at what you need to do to enable this feature:
The server console commands are turned off by default, you need to first enable them:
Set this server notes.ini variable, like so:
> set config CLUSTER_ADMIN_ON=1 (even if the server is not a in cluster, doesn't matter).
No need to restart the server, it becomes active immediately.
This enables this new command:
CL COPY sourcedb targetdb
Examples for the CL COPY command:
> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB
> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf REPLICA This would create a replica copy of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB
> CL copy serverA!!db1.nsf serverB!!db2.nsf TEMPLATE This would create a template copy (only design, no data) of db1.nsf on serverA as db2.nsf on ServerB
> CL copy db1.nsf db2.nsf This would create a regular non-replica copy of db1.nsf as db2.nsf on the same local server
