Exporting and importing files

To export data from RavenFS use this command:

Raven.Smuggler out http://localhost:8080/ dump.ravenfs --filesystem=NorthwindFS

This command will export NorthwindFS file system to a file named dump.ravenfs.

Raven.Smuggler in http://localhost:8080/ dump.ravenfs --filesystem=NewNorthwindFS

This command will import data from dump.ravenfs file to NewNorthwindFS file system.

To move files directly between two instances (or different file systems in the same instance) use the between option in following manner:

Raven.Smuggler between http://localhost:8080/ http://localhost:8081/ --filesystem=NorthwindFS --filesystem2=NewNorthwindFS

You can tweak the export/import process with the following parameters:

• timeout: The timeout (in milliseconds) to use for requests.
• batch-size: The batch size for requests.
• filesystem: The file system to operate on.
• username: A username to use when a file system requires client authentication.
• password: A password to use when a file system requires client authentication.
• domain: A domain to use when a file system requires client authentication.
• api-key: An API-key to use, when using OAuth.
• incremental: States usage of incremental operations.
• strip-replication-information: Remove all synchronization information from metadata (import only).
• disable-versioning-during-import: Disables versioning for the duration of the import.
• help: You can use the help option in order to print the built-in options documentation.

Alternatively, if you prefer to do export/import from code rather than from the console utility, you can use the SmugglerFilesApi class (in order to use this class you need to reference the Raven.Smuggler.exe).

Exporting

SmugglerFilesApi smugglerApi = new SmugglerFilesApi();

var exportOptions = new SmugglerExportOptions<FilesConnectionStringOptions>
{
	ToFile = "dump.ravenfs",
	From = new FilesConnectionStringOptions
	{
		Url = "http://localhost:8080",
		DefaultFileSystem = "NorthwindFS"
	}
};

var exportResult = await smugglerApi.ExportData(exportOptions);

Importing

SmugglerFilesApi smugglerApi = new SmugglerFilesApi();

var importOptions = new SmugglerImportOptions<FilesConnectionStringOptions>
{
	FromFile = "dump.ravenfs",
	To = new FilesConnectionStringOptions
	{
		Url = "http://localhost:8080",
		DefaultFileSystem = "NewNorthwindFS"
	}
};

await smugglerApi.ImportData(importOptions);

Moving data between two databases

// export files
// from NorthwindFS file system
// found on http://localhost:8080
// and import them to NewNorthwindFS
// found on the same server
SmugglerFilesApi smugglerApi = new SmugglerFilesApi();

var betweenOptions = new SmugglerBetweenOptions<FilesConnectionStringOptions>
{
	From = new FilesConnectionStringOptions
	{
		Url = "http://localhost:8080",
		DefaultFileSystem = "NorthwindFS"
	},
	To = new FilesConnectionStringOptions
	{
		Url = "http://localhost:8080",
		DefaultFileSystem = "NewNorthwindFS"
	}
};

await smugglerApi.Between(betweenOptions);
