Replication
You can create an offline (local) duplicate of any HCL Notes® application you use. Such a duplicate is called a replica.
Managing replicas
The Replication and Sync page lets you synchronize your replicas of HCL Notes® applications with those applications on one or more servers, and lets you continue other work while Notes copies changes from one application to the other. This allows users on different networks, in a variety of places, to share the same information.
How do I add or remove replicas from bookmarks?
You can add or remove a replica of an HCL Notes® application from your bookmarks. You can also find all the servers that have a replica of an application, and direct your bookmark to find a new server to which the server administrator has moved a replica.

- Getting started with Replication
  Replication allows you to keep a local version of a Notes® application on your hard disk drive. The local version is identical to the application on a server, so you can make changes to one version, and those changes will appear in both the local and server versions of the application. Replication is a great tool to have when working with large documents or applications, since the local version, or replica, of an application can open documents and views much faster than the server version, which has to open documents and views over a network.

  - How do I set a replication schedule?
    Once you have created a local replica of an HCL Notes® application, you can keep your replica in sync with the server version. Do this by seting up replication schedules that allow you to replicate/sync your local replica automatically, and on a regular basis.
  - How do I add or remove replicas from bookmarks?
    You can add or remove a replica of an HCL Notes® application from your bookmarks. You can also find all the servers that have a replica of an application, and direct your bookmark to find a new server to which the server administrator has moved a replica.
  - How do I address replication and save conflicts?
    A replication conflict occurs when two or more users edit the same document in different replicas, between one replication and the next. A save conflict occurs when two or more users edit the same document in the same application on a server, at the same time.

  The following Replication topics are for more advanced Notes® users.

How do I add or remove replicas from bookmarks?

You can add or remove a replica of an HCL Notes® application from your bookmarks. You can also find all the servers that have a replica of an application, and direct your bookmark to find a new server to which the server administrator has moved a replica.

If the Manage Replica Server List dialog box is not open, right-click (Macintosh users, Ctrl+click) the bookmark for a replica and click Open Replica > Manage Replicas (Notes Basic client users: click Open Replica > Manage List).

Select any of these topics:

To remove a replica from your bookmarks
To add a replica to your bookmarks
To find servers that contain a replica
To direct a replica to a new server

To remove a replica from your bookmarks

Procedure

Select a server from the list in the Manage Replica Server List dialog box.
Click Remove.

To add a replica to your bookmarks

Procedure

In the Add server list in the Manage Replica Server List dialog box, select a server that contains a replica of the application.
Click Add.

Results

Note: This is a list of all the servers currently in your bookmarks. You cannot add a server to this list unless it contains a replica of the application.

To find servers that contain a replica

Procedure

You can have Notes® find all the servers in your domain that contain a replica of the application by clicking Discover in the Manage Replica Server List dialog box. This may be a long process.

To direct a replica to a new server

About this task

When you attempt to replicate to a replica and receive a message that the replica has moved to a different server, you need to point your bookmark to the new server.

Procedure

Locate the replica's bookmark.
Right-click the bookmark, then select Open Replica > Manage List.
Type the name of the new server to which you want to replicate at the bottom and click Add.
The next time Notes® replicates, it tries the old server first, then the new server you just added.
