I hope someone can help! I’ve been struggling off and on for a while now to get the creation of new replicas across domains to work. I’ve searched for solutions, but found nothing that fits my scenario/situation.
I have a 6.5.5 box in domain1 and am trying to create a new replica from it on to an 8.0.1 box in domain2. There are cross certifiers set up between both domains, there are copies of the corresponding server docs in each names.nsf and I’ve added the approprate cross domain configs to each admin4.nsf. However, I get the following error when tryingin to create a replica:
27/08/2008 11:30:51 AM Admin Process: Received the following status performing a Accelerated Create Replica request on database1. Received the status – Source and destination servers are not clustered – trying to create database1.nsf on server2/domain2; a replica creation request has been generated for further processing.
27/08/2008 11:30:51 AM Admin Process: Received the following error performing a Accelerated Create Replica request on database1. server1/domain1 is not a configured desination server for Create Replica requests being sent to domain domain2.
27/08/2008 11:30:51 AM Admin Process: Received the following error performing a Accelerated Create Replica request on database1 (File name: admin4.nsf; Name: server1/domain1): The destination server is not configured to be sent this type of request from this domain.
Previously I’ve got round this by doing an o/s level copy of the files and running a fixup. After this replciation works ok, however, I’d really like to do this the right way!
These errors are justified since the “Accelerated Create Replica” request is only valid for clustered servers. That’s why you get the message that a regular “Create Replica” request is generated. All of your errors shown above are related to the accelerated request. Are you getting errors for the regular “Create Replica” request that is generated? Does that request get sent to the destination server in domain2 for processing?
I would double check your Cross Domain Config docs in admin4.nsf in both domains to make sure they are configured to send and receive the appropriate requests.
This may seem a little silly, but how do you NOT use the “Accelerated” method of replica creation? I am trying exactly this sort of x-domain stuff but get the same result.
I have found also that the error messages are not always what they seem. I have now clustered my x-certified servers (although they don’t seem to replicate via clrep at all, just scheduled) to try and get the Accelerated replica creation to work, but…
If the source db has a full text index, and you do not choose the option “Create full text index for searching” in the create replica dialogue box, then, in Administration db you see the error " The destination server is not configured to be sent this type of request from this domain." but looking at the console you see a message something like “Cannot create replica as destination servers’ full text options do not match source server”. This seems odd as I don’t see why I can’t have a FTI on one server and not on another.

Ok, reading the manuual I can’t cluster across domains, that said it has enabled me to get my replicxation sorted out and Accelerated creates now work (so long as you whatch out for the Fulll Text indices,
