Moving Large Structural Elements

Jim_Coursey

Does anyone have a good .net or similar tool for moving Structures containing ~50,000 items around without messing up all the concurrent users or blocking Livelink Services?

if a folder contained 50,000 items or you have a folder containing 50,000 items and you want to move one by one to manageable folders?In the first case it is a parentid update,corresponding subitemcount update on both source and target ,plus any node call backs such as dtreeancestors,rm functions,any dtreeacl stuff then the search engine has a go at making sure the paths change.All in all the second instance is what we are talking about then you have cause for worry as you have to move 50000 items which register as individual transactions.I would think that using OI or lapi one should be able to accomplish what you are asking without much cause for alarm.I really do not know the system concerned so somebody speak up if I am out of line on this.I have even used the Admin server and web interface "localhost" and moved huge structures and it has never posed a failure on me.Sometimes the browser times out but so long as you don't re-start the server you should be ok.
