Replicating databases by priority
Database managers assign a replication priority to databases so that Domino® administrators can schedule replication for databases based on priority.
About this task
For example, you can schedule high-priority databases that are critical to business operations -- for example, the Domino® Directory -- to replicate frequently. You can schedule low-priority databases to replicate during off-hours.
Procedure
- From the Domino® Administrator, click the Configuration tab.
- Select the connecting server's Domino® Directory in the Use Directory on field.
- Click Server, and then click Connections.
- Click the connection you want to work with, and then click Edit Connection.
- Click the Replication/Routing tab.
- In the Replicate databases of field, select the priority of databases to replicate.
- Click Save and Close.
Results
Domino® automatically replicates all databases that two servers have in common.
If two replicas are assigned different priorities, Domino® uses the priority assigned to the replica on the server that initiates the replication. If you schedule databases to replicate by priority and a particular database isn't replicating often enough, ask the database manager to increase the priority level of that database.
