DATABASE MANAGEMENT

Moving a database without using the Administration Process
Use this procedure to move a database to a server in another IBM® Lotus® Domino™ domain or to move a database when you don't have access to the Domino Administrator. Do not use this procedure to move a mail file.

1. Make sure that you have Create Replica access in the Server document of the destination server.

2. Make sure you have Manager with "Delete documents" access in the ACL of the original database.

3. Choose File - Replication - New Replica to create a replica of the database on the destination server.

4. Make a note of the file name and path of the original database. You'll include this information when you notify users of the move.

Note If an IBM® Lotus® Notes® 8.0 client, or more recent client, is being used, and an appropriate redirect is created, you should not have to notify users.

5. Choose File - Application - Delete to delete the original database.

6. If the database receives mail, change the Mail-In Database document in the Domino Directory to reflect the new location.

7. In the ACLs of any replicas of the database, remove the name of the server that you moved the database from and add the name of the destination server.

8. Notify users that you have moved the database.
