ALL-IN-1 2.4 (patched to K603)
VMS 5.5-2
i need to merge 2 DOCDB.DAT and DAF.DAT files for 2 users.
i've read the description of OA$CNV_MERGE function...is there anything
else that needs to be done?
why merge the files you ask...
1. the hardware on systemA went away.
2. had to blend 360+ users from systemA to systemB
3. systemB was an existing system with 2000+ users and ALL-IN-1 2.4
4. the powers that be decided to unshare the mail on systemA
and then backup and restore accross the network the accounts.
this worked fine for about 98% of the accounts. the 2 that I have a
problem with had 2000+ documents in their file cabinets on systemA.
after doing the backup etc onto systemB, they had most of their
documents, a number of them were header/notext.
i was able to restore and re-unshare these 2 account on systemA before
the hardware went away. so now i have these 2 accounts on systemB that
the users are using AND i have a saveset of the accounts from systemA.
this is what i want to do -
1. restore the saveset to [user1.OA]. append _OLD to the docdb and
daf from the saveset
2. MERGE the 2 docdb.dat and daf.dat files together
does this sound resonable?
thanks - ann

Don't use OA$CNV_MERGE (I'm surprised that no-one has said this
before).
Use the standard OpenVMS CONVERT utility to merge the files together.
You may, however, hit duplicate entries in DOCDB.DAT. Hasn't everyone
got a document number 000001?

No. my first one is 002361
Anyway, the primary key is <folder:30><fixer> so the chances of your
getting duplicates are much reduced (unless you leave everything in
READ :-))

No, the one with 23,000 documents in his READ folder left at Christmas.
It only took me four or five hours to delete that folder :-)
The remaining IOSG managers are quite well behaved!
