USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Forcing a server database to replicate
Replication between database replicas on servers typically occurs according to schedules in Connection documents. However, there are times when you want to force replication between two replicas, rather than wait for replication to occur on schedule. For example, you might force replication when you want to test replication settings or troubleshoot replication problems.

Replicating from the database

1. Open the database.

2. Choose File - Replication - Replicate.

3. Select "Replicate with options" and click OK.

4. Select the server that stores the replica with which you want to replicate.

5. Select "Send documents to server" to send updates from the replica you selected on your workspace to the server you selected in Step 4.

6. Select "Receive documents from server" to send updates from the server you selected in Step 4 to the replica selected on your workspace.

7. Click OK.

Replicating from the server console

You can use a database option with the Replicate, Pull, or Push server commands to force replication of a specific database that two servers have in common.


For example, to send changes to the database PRODUCTS.NSF from the server Webstage-E/East/Acme to the server Web/East/Acme, enter the following command from Webstage-E/East/Acme:
