Examples: SetInput method

  1. This agent generates DXL based on the content of a 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 Export current database as DXL
      Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter
      Set exporter = session.CreateDXLExporter
      Call exporter.SetInput(db)
      Call exporter.SetOutput(stream)
      Call exporter.Process
    End Sub
  2. This agent generates DXL based on the content of a document collection.
    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) - 4) & "_dc.xml"
      If Not stream.Open(filename$) Then
        Messagebox "Cannot open " & filename$,, "Error"
        Exit Sub
      End If
      Call stream.Truncate
      
      REM Create document collection
      Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
      Set dc = db.AllDocuments
      If dc.Count = 0 Then
        Messagebox "No document in database",, "No document"
        Exit Sub
      End If
      
      REM Export document collection as DXL
      Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter
      Set exporter = session.CreateDXLExporter
      Call exporter.SetInput(dc)
      Call exporter.SetOutput(stream)
      Call exporter.Process
    End Sub
  3. This agent generates DXL based on the content of a document.
    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) - 4) & "_doc.xml"
      If Not stream.Open(filename$) Then
        Messagebox "Cannot open " & filename$,, "Error"
        Exit Sub
      End If
      Call stream.Truncate
      
      REM Get selected or first selected document
      Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
      Set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
      If dc.Count = 0 Then
        Messagebox "No document selected",, "No document"
        Exit Sub
      End If
      Dim doc As NotesDocument
      Set doc = dc.GetFirstDocument
      
      REM Export document as DXL
      Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter
      Set exporter = session.CreateDXLExporter
      Call exporter.SetInput(doc)
      Call exporter.SetOutput(stream)
      Call exporter.Process
    End Sub
  4. This 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 db As NotesDatabase
    
    Sub Initialize
      Set session = New NotesSession
      Set ws = New NotesUIWorkspace
      Set importer = session.CreateDXLImporter
    End Sub
    
    Function SetInput As Boolean

      fileName$ = uidoc.FieldGetText("OutputDatabase")
      If Not db.Open("", fileName$) Then
        Call db.Create("", fileName$, True)
      End If

    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
