public Database createCopy(String server, String dbfile)
   throws NotesException

public Database createCopy(String server, String dbfile, int maxsize)
   throws NotesException

Parameters

String server


String dbfile
int maxsize

Note This parameter is new with Release 5.


Return value

Database


Usage

If a database with the specified file name already exists, an exception is thrown.

The copy contains the design elements of the current database, an identical access control list, and an identical title. It does not contain any documents.

The copy is not a replica.

Programs using remote (IIOP) calls to a server can't create or access databases on other servers. In these cases, the server parameter must correspond to the server the program is running on. There are two ways to do this:


Programs running on a workstation can access several different servers in a single program.

The ACL of the original database gets copied to the new database, but you may want to modify the copy's ACL. For example, you may want Manager access to the copy for yourself even if you're not a manager of the original. Use the methods grantAccess and revokeAccess to modify the copy's ACL.
