Re: Database in use when copying

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

If you insist on doing it outside of the Domino server, then bring the 
server down and use the CPY.

Otherwise, there are some utilities to do this within the domino server, 
that can be started with SBMDOMCMD

Database in use when copying






Folks:

I'm trying to write a java class that will create a copy (or replica) of 
a database.

Originally (long time ago) I was trying to copy the database using the 
CL CPY command, which was failing most of the time because the database 
was in use.   When I posted the question, Walter Scanlan responded that 
I should use the API's to do the copies 
(http://archive.midrange.com/domino400/200108/msg00043.html) to avoid 
server lock issues.

Well, I'm trying this approach now ... but it's not working, for very 
similar reasons.

When I run the class (see below), I often get a NotesException with a 
error id of 553 "Database is currently in use by you or another user".

-------------------------
try {
                 // setup our notes environment
                 Session session = NotesFactory.createSession();
                 Database oldDB = session.getDatabase(null, oldDatabase);
                 newDB = oldDB.createCopy(null, newDatabase);
} catch (NotesException e) {
                 System.our.println("caught: " + e);
                 e.printStackTrace();
}
-------------------------

This java class is *NOT* running inside the Domino server ... but it is 
running as QNOTES, with the classpath, path, and library list set 
appropriately.

Any suggestions on how I can go about making a database copy outside of 
the Domino server.

Thanks!

david
