Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum

Steps 1 - 4 seem OK to me. You do not need a stream. Notes connects the objects and passes the data along the pipeline that you set up.

If you do write the data to a file for some reason, the size of the file depends on whether all the default values of all the attributes are included.

For example, here is very basic code that exports a document, changes the Subject, and imports it again (creating a new document). To add error-handling, use the Log properties of the processor objects to find out what went wrong.

     ' set session, db and doc

     

     Dim dxp As NotesDXLExporter

     Set dxp = session.CreateDXLExporter(doc)

     

     Dim par As NotesDOMParser

     Set par = session.CreateDOMParser(dxp)

     On Event PostDOMParse From par Call ProcessDOM

     

     Dim dip As NotesDXLImporter

     Set dip = session.CreateDXLImporter(par, db)

     

     dxp.Process

End Sub





Sub ProcessDOM(Source As NotesDOMParser)

     Dim items As NotesDOMNodeList

     Set items = Source.Document.GetElementsByTagName("item")

     

     For i& = 1 To items.NumberOfEntries

          Dim item As NotesDOMElementNode

          Set item = items.GetItem(i&)

          If item.GetAttribute("name") = "Subject" Then _

          item.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeValue = "Rhubarb"

     Next

     

     Source.Serialize

End Sub
