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.

- 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.
- Replication quick reference
  This quick reference card is a list of instructions for common tasks and shortcuts for Notes® replication, which you can print and keep at your desk for easy reference.

This allows users on different networks, in a variety of places, to share the same information.
  - 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.
- Advanced Replication topics
  The following Replication topics are for more advanced Notes® users.

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.

If you use more than one Notes® location (connection type), you will see a different Replication and Sync page for each location.

Note: If you are a file server-based roaming user, you can also replicate against a file server.

Note: To act on an application from the Replication and Sync page, you usually need to first make that application available offline.
