How to create a Dataset Snapshot from files in a workspace in Domino 5.x

Daniel Stern

Create new dataset. From your project go to Materials>>Data and create new dataset.
Go To Run>>Workspace and create a new workspace with IDE of your choice.
Once your Workspace opens decide whether to use a linux terminal or the IDEs graphical file browser.
Select Data and then Datasets and use the copy icon to copy the dataset path to the clipboard. Or use the file browser to navigate to the Dataset path. I chose the linux terminal in a Jupyter IDE.
Move the files that you wish to create your snapshot in your dataset with to the Dataset path, in my case /domino/datasets/local/new_test
At this point you can stop the workspace or just go back to Material>>Data>>Domino Datasets and select your dataset.
If you want to only add some of your files to the dataset use the checkbox to select them.
Now goto 'Take a Snapshot' and choose Include All Files or Include Selected Files.

You now have a new snapshot.
