USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION
Both mail routing and replication are enabled by default, but you can change this setting and use separate Connection documents to schedule each task. This way, you can control the specific time(s), time range(s), or the repeat interval for replication and mail routing separately, and increase or decrease these settings, as needed.
How you connect servers for replication depends on the location of the servers. You can connect servers for replication over a Local Area Network (LAN) or over an intermittently connected serial line, such as a Remote access service connection. In addition, you can use passthru servers for replication.
Replicating over the Internet is performed identically as with a LAN using TCP/IP. The Domino server must be in the same IBM® Lotus® Notes® domain as the Domino server with which you want it to replicate. If it's not, your server needs a certificate in common with the other server.
Note Do not use the server's common name when replicating servers. Only the server's full hierarchical name should be used during server-to-server replication. This applies to all instances of server-to-server replication.
To set up Connection documents for replication
Schedule only one server to connect at a time.
1. Make sure that:
3. Select the connecting server's Domino Directory in the "Use Directory on" field.
4. Click Server, and then click Connections.
5. Click the connection you want to work with, and then click Edit Connection.
6. On the Basics tab, complete these fields:
If you don't want to specify the actual port for making a local area network connection, but would prefer to have IBM® Lotus® Domino® determine the port used, don't list any ports in the Use the Port(s) field in the LAN Connection document. Domino uses all the information it has, including all enabled LAN ports and all enabled or disabled Connection documents, to determine the best path to use to connect with the other server.
Separate entries with semicolons (;) and specify the names as they exist on the calling server. If the database is in a subdirectory to the data directory, include the path relative to the data directory -- for example, EAST\SALES.NSF.
To specify all files within a directory and any of its subdirectories, enter the directory name relative to the data directory with the directory slash, for example EAST\. You can't use wild cards (*).
