cb-view-transfer transfers your Couchbase map-reduce and spatial views from one node or XML file to target node or XML file.

XML file contains map-reduce functions and description of each view. You can examine sample xml file sample_cb_views.xml in resources/ directory in source code.

cb-view-transfer lets you to:

• document your Couchbase buckets and views with their map-reduce (map for spatial views) functions in XML file.
• store the XML file in your version control system such as git.
• restore views with corresponding map-reduce (map for spatial views) functions to your Couchbase cluster that you want to have those views.
• transfer your views between Couchbase environments(dev, test, QA) easily.

You can download latest version of the jar file from here

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -source <arg> -target <arg> [-buckets <comma-separated-args>] [-username <arg>] [-password <arg>]

-source: Couchbase node or XML file that contains views that you want to transfer. There is no need to add /pools path to end of node address.

-target: Couchbase node or XML file that you want to transfer views to. There is no need to add /pools path to end of node address.

-buckets: Optional. Couchbase buckets that contain views that you want to transfer to target from source. If you intend to transfer all views, then no need to specify buckets parameter.

-username: Web admin username. Required if source parameter points to Couchbase node instead of XML file.

-password: Web admin password. Required if source parameter points to Couchbase node instead of XML file.

To move all views from one node to another node

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -source http://172.10.12.45:8091/pools -target http://176.123.100.99:8091/pools -username Administrator -password 123456

To move all views from XML file to node

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -source /Users/berbat/myViewFile.xml -target http://176.123.100.99:8091/pools -username Administrator -password 123456

To move all views from node to XML file

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -source http://172.10.12.45:8091/pools -target /Users/berbat/myViewFile.xml -username Administrator -password 123456

To move views in "Customers" and "Orders" buckets from node to another node

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -buckets Customers,Orders -source http://172.10.12.45:8091/pools -target http://176.123.100.99:8091/pools -username Administrator -password 123456

To move views in "Customers" and "Orders" buckets from XML file to node

Since source is a plain XML file, we don't need to add username and password parameters.

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -buckets Customers,Orders -source /Users/berbat/myViewFile.xml -target http://176.123.100.99:8091/pools

To move views in "Customers" and "Orders" buckets from node to XML file

java -jar cb-view-transfer.jar -buckets Customers,Orders -source http://172.10.12.45:8091/pools -target /Users/berbat/myViewFile.xml -username Administrator -password 123456
