Allow DAOS enabled NSFs to be opened locally as an Admin option

At the moment DAOS enabled NSFS must be recovered to a server. It would make it easier if they could be recovered to a local client and opened.

The use case is where we want to restore a document ( or even just examine it ) and the DOAS files are already on the server. When you try to open a DAOS enabled file locally an error message stops you.


It would be very helpful if you could open it any way after accepting the warning.


Realistically "normal" users would never be in this scenario.

    The comment about agents is very valid and has stung me before

    The main use case is where a developer is troubleshooting a bug in a workflow application. The developer benefits from understanding the document context before the bug so that they can recreate the issue. There is simply no need to deploy the application to a server.


    Another use case is where there has been partial corruption ( bug, human error, etc ) and individual records need to be cherrypicked out of the backup.

    Space on servers, and administrative access to servers, is often limited. We have also seen high workloads relating to large restored databases affecting production ( Views, FTI ).


    If it is a production server there is also a fear of restoring an application with the same repid as a production application. This can be got around with the Turtle repid change utility ( or maybe the V12 backup ) but this probably means that the developer has had to pull the backup file down locally to do this.


    We do not run Notes clients on servers.

    Thomas, sometimes putting the restored database on the server would be dangerous. It might ruin replication. Agents would start without control. If you just need a couple of documents from the backup, it would be handy to be able to open it in the Notes client.

    What is the main reason for not recovering the database to a server directly? Why does it have to be opened with a Notes client? Is the Notes client installed on the server?
