Hello all!

I am having a bit of a problem. I am currently working with an application where users have created lots and lots of private views. It's a mix of server side (stored in the nsf) and client side (stored in the desktop file) views... Now this application will have to replicate to another server (a new domino domain) and will be used by a subset of users.

As you probably know, private views does not replicate and the ones stored in the desktop file "lose their connection" to the new replica.

The ones stored on the server I can easily access via LotusScript, export them as DXL and then re-import them into the new replica (per user), but the ones stored locally in the desktop file imposes a greater challenge.

Somewhere it seems like there is some kind of index, pairing the local views with a specific replica. It might be stored in the application nsf or in the desktop ndk-file. I desperately need to be able to access this information or something in this regard.

I have tried to dissect both the desktop file (which essentially is an notes database) and the application using various tools, but I cant find anything that helps.

If you understand my predicament and if you have any suggestions at all, please let me know!

Thank you all in advance!
