Getting hold of your replication formulas (SnTT Sunday edition)


Since R6 we are able to manipulate replication formulas using Lotus Script. You simply retrieve the entry and update or delete it. There is only one problem: If you don't know what custom replication pairs are in your database you can't do anything about it. Since "wild" custom replication formulas are a nightmare to track down I created the following script and XSLT stylesheet to extract this information using DXL. My script simply creates documents that document the settings. It will be easy to extend the script to include deletion of the entries. Or you could modifiy it to track replication formulas in multiple databases.

As usual: your mileage might vary!

 
Option Public Option Declare Sub Initialize Dim db As NotesDatabase Dim notecol As NotesNoteCollection Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter Dim importer As NotesDXLImporter Dim transformer As NotesXSLTransformer Dim result As String Dim stream As NotesStream Dim s As New NotesSession 'Setup envionment Set db = s .CurrentDatabase 'Create the collection Set notecol = db .CreateNoteCollection ( False ) Call notecol .SelectAllAdminNotes ( True ) 'ACL, Replication Formulas Call notecol .BuildCollection Print "Build the collection ..." 'Get the transformation stylesheet Set stream = getRichTextSource ( "DocumentCustomReplicationFormulas" ) 'Create the import/export/transformer Set exporter = s .CreateDXLExporter Set transformer = s .CreateXSLTransformer Set importer = s .CreateDXLImporter 'Now we need to wire the exporter to the transformer to the importer Call exporter .SetInput (notecol ) Call exporter .SetOutput (transformer ) Call transformer .SetStylesheet (stream ) Call transformer .setOutput (importer ) Call importer .setOutput (db ) 'Set the parameters for processing exporter .ExitOnFirstFatalError = False importer .ReplaceDBProperties = False importer .ReplicaRequiredForReplaceOrUpdate = False importer .ACLImportOption = DXLIMPORTOPTION_IGNORE importer .DesignImportOption = DXLIMPORTOPTION_IGNORE importer .DocumentImportOption = DXLIMPORTOPTION_CREATE Print "Processing" On Error Resume Next Call exporter .Process Print "Backup completed" result = exporter . log Call stream . Close Beep Msgbox result , 0 , Cstr (importer .importednotecount ) & " Documents created" End Sub Function getRichTextSource (SourceName As String ) As NotesStream 'Retrieves a RichTextitem from the XSLTDefinitions view Dim db As NotesDatabase Dim doc As NotesDocument Dim v As NotesView Dim tmpStream As NotesStream Dim rt As NotesRichTextItem Dim s As New NotesSession Set db = s .CurrentDatabase Set v = db .GetView ( "XSLTDefinitions" ) Set doc = v .GetDocumentByKey (SourceName , True ) If doc Is Nothing Then Msgbox "XSLT Definition " & SourceName & "not found" Exit Function End If Set rt = doc .GetFirstItem ( "Body" ) Set tmpStream = s .CreateStream tmpStream .WriteText (rt .GetUnformattedText ) tmpStream .Position = 0 Set getRichTextSource = tmpStream End Function
This LotusScript was converted to HTML using the ls2html routine,
provided by Julian Robichaux at nsftools.com.

Here is the stylesheet I used:

<xsl:stylesheet version= "1.0" exclude-result-prefixes= "d">
<xsl:output method= "xml" version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" indent= "yes" />
<xsl:template match= "/" >
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match= "d:database" >
<xsl:element name= "database" >
<xsl:attribute name= "version" >
<xsl:value-of select= "@version" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name= "maintenanceversion" >
<xsl:value-of select= "@maintenanceversion" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select= "d:note[@class='replicationformula']" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match= "d:note[@class='replicationformula']" >
<xsl:element name= "document" >
<xsl:attribute name= "form" />
<xsl:apply-templates select= "d:item[@name='$TITLE']" />
<xsl:apply-templates select= "d:item[@name='$ReplSrcServers']" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match= "d:item[@name='$ReplSrcServers']" >
<xsl:element name= "item" >
<xsl:attribute name= "name" />
<xsl:copy-of select= "d:textlist" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match= "d:item[@name='$TITLE']" >
<xsl:element name= "item" >
<xsl:attribute name= "name" />
<xsl:copy-of select= "d:text" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match= "d:note[@default='true' and @class='replicationformula']" />
<xsl:template match= "*" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
P.S.: If anybody knows a good tool/stylesheet to transform XML source to HTML, let me know.
