Examples: Process method

  1. This agent, demonstrating the NotesDXLExporter process, generates DXL from a note collection based on the content of the current database.
    Sub Initialize
  Dim session As New NotesSession
  Dim db As NotesDatabase
  Set db = session.CurrentDatabase
  
  REM Open xml file named after current database
  Dim stream As NotesStream
  Set stream = session.CreateStream
  filename$ = "c:\dxl\" & _
  Left(db.FileName, Len(db.FileName) - 3) & "xml"
  If Not stream.Open(filename$) Then
    Messagebox "Cannot open " & filename$,, "Error"
    Exit Sub
  End If
  Call stream.Truncate
  
  REM Create note collection for current database
  Dim nc As NotesNoteCollection
  Set nc = db.CreateNoteCollection(False)
  Call nc.SelectAllDesignElements(True)
  Call nc.BuildCollection
  
  REM Export note collection as DXL
  Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter
  Set exporter = session.CreateDXLExporter(nc, stream)
  Call exporter.Process
End Sub
  2. This example demonstrates the NotesDXLImporter process. The code is on a form. Two fields provide the pathname of an input file and the name of an output database. A "Process" button sets the input and output parameters for a NotesDXLImporter object and calls its Process method.
    Dim session As NotesSession
Dim ws As NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim importer As NotesDXLImporter
Dim stream As NotesStream
Dim db As NotesDatabase

Sub Initialize
  Set session = New NotesSession
  Set ws = New NotesUIWorkspace
  Set importer = session.CreateDXLImporter
End Sub

Function SetInput As Boolean
  Set stream = session.CreateStream
  fileName$ = uidoc.FieldGetText("InputFile")
  If Not stream.Open(fileName$) Then
    Messagebox "Cannot open file",, fileName$
    SetInput = False
    Exit Function
  End If
  If stream.Bytes = 0 Then
    Messagebox "File did not exist or was empty",, fileName$
    SetInput = False
    Exit Function
  End If
  Call importer.SetInput(stream)
  SetInput = True
End Function

Function SetOutput As Boolean
  Set db = New NotesDatabase("", "")
  fileName$ = uidoc.FieldGetText("OutputDatabase")
  If Not db.Open("", fileName$) Then
    Call db.Create("", fileName$, True)
  End If
  Call importer.SetOutput(db)
  SetOutput = True
End Function

Sub Postopen(Source As Notesuidocument)
  Set uidoc = ws.CurrentDocument
End Sub

Sub Click(Source As Button)
REM This is the "Process" button
  If Not SetInput Then Exit Sub
  If Not SetOutput Then Exit Sub
  Call importer.Process
End Sub
