Nonpreserving replicas

Nonpreserving replicas ignore identities and permissions changes made at other replicas and maintain their own identities and permissions information for elements.

For nonpreserving replicas:

The user who enters the mkreplica –import command becomes the owner of the new VOB and of all elements in it. When you import an update packet containing oplogs for new elements, the VOB owner becomes the owner of the new elements.
The primary group of the user who enters the mkreplica –import command becomes the VOB’s primary group and the group for all elements. When you import an update packet containing oplogs for new elements, the VOB’s primary group is the group for the new elements.
The initial permissions of the elements are the same as their values in the replica at which the mkreplica –export or syncreplica –export command is entered.
Changes to identities and permissions made at this nonpreserving replica are not recorded in oplogs, and therefore are not propagated to other replicas. Changes made at replicas that preserve identities and permissions or permissions only are ignored at nonpreserving replicas.
