Database Import and Export

When using the Peer Graphing or the Peer Grouping Infrastructures, the information (records) that peers publish to a graph or group is stored as a database on each peer computer. To migrate an application from one computer to another computer, you can export a Peer Graphing or Peer Grouping database from one computer, and then import it to another.

The following list identifies important information about working with databases:

• You can only import a database that has the same graph and peer ID.
• You cannot call the import and export functions if PeerGraphListen, PeerGroupConnect, or PeerGraphConnect have been called.

Peer Graphing Infrastructure uses the following calls to import and export a record database:

• PeerGraphExportDatabase
• PeerGraphImportDatabase

Peer Grouping Infrastructure uses the following calls to import and export a record database:

• PeerGroupExportDatabase
• PeerGroupImportDatabase
