[Zope] merging zodb's
I have a zodb from a dead zope instance that I wanted to merge in to another running zope. I thought I could use a mount point to do this and just specify the old zodb for the storage in my mount point. alas, this did not work as expect. After making the modification in my zope.conf like this: zodb_db support # ssw file store filestorage path $INSTANCE/var/srvx-Data.fs /filestorage mount-point /support /zodb_db And then restarting zope and adding the mount point -- I see nothing underneath it. So, I assume this is NOT a valid way to merge to zodb's together? Does anyone have an suggestions on a way I might combine 2 zodb's? -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 411 N Central, Phoenix, AZ 85004 ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

This is not well documented but I believe you can only mount a subitem from the database, not the root of the database. So rename the mount point to the name of the subitem you want to mount and I think it should work.

A shot in the dark, because I am not sure what you mean by a dead zope instance... Create an external method that you can access from the 'non-dead zope instance', which directly accesses the Data.fs file from the dead zope instance (using the usual db.open/root=connection.root...) and then loops thru all of the objects from the root down and copies them into the 'live' zope instance. hth Jonathan ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
