What is a .NSF file seen in some web client?

Source: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?64318-What-is-NSF-files


NSF/Notes/Domino is not a scripting language and is not similar to ASP/PHP. NSF stands for "Notes Storage Facility". The system architecture is roughly as follows:

Code:

+----------------+
| Notes (client) |
+----------------+
         |
+----------------+
| Domino (server)|
+----------------+
         |
+----------------+
|   .NSF file    |
|(Notes database)|
+----------------+

So an NSF file is just the database that Domino uses. Even the term "database" is a misnomer. The NSF contains security rules, application code and data all in one file, and can also normally be accessed directly from the client without using a Domino server. Each Domino application/website/whatever can be one or more databases.

The Notes/Domino system is fairly unique. It's an entire infrastructure that handles security, storage, scripting etc. The closest alternative I can think of is Zope, but even that doesn't do everything Notes/Domino can do.

In terms of development languages, you can use C, Java, LotusScript (kind of like VBScript), Formula Language (a proprietary very high level language) and probably one or two others.

In terms of "is it any good", that depends on what you need to do, and how you need to do it. For some things, it can't be beaten.

In terms of where can you get a copy - it costs $$$  However if you want to try developing in a superficially similar environment (as far as web apps are concerned anyway) give Zope a go.

FTP : mput with no confirmation

Reference: http://cisconet.com/tcpip/tcpip-general/103-ftp-mput-with-no-confirmation.html



When you are transferring multiple files to your destination, 'mput' or 'mget' will be the one command used. Well, if we don't have ftp application at that time. Especially, more than 50 files need to be transferred ? confirmation would be hassle.


The prompt feature of the mput command can be disabled by invoking ftp with the -i option. In this instance, all file names that match the pattern in your mput command will be transferred
without confirmation.


Here is the way to avoid the hassle.


when you login, use '-i' option




ex) ftp -i ftp.test.com
ftp>cd [taget directory]
ftp>mput *




and try 'mput' or 'mget'


Now, ftpd won't ask a confirmation.

[Clearcase] How to find view-private files in snapshot views

This DOS command, when executed from a snapshot view path (where you want to start searching from), allows you to list out view-private files:
C:\view\view_tag\path_within_view\for /F "usebackq delims=" %i in (`cleartool ls -r ^| find /V "Rule:" ^| find /V "hijacked" ^| find /V "eclipsed" ^| find /V "-->" ^| find /V "not loaded"`) do @echo "%i"

The "cleartool ls -r" lists out all the files recursively which includes all types of elements which included those e.g. not loaded, eclipsed, hijacked etc.
You can then make use of "find /V" to weed out those that you do not want to see in the "cleartool ls -r" output.
