I had to build a new test server. I was always sure that all replicas ID’s on that server was different to the production versions -to avoid any replication issues. Unfortuntely whilst fine tuning the new server a replication took place between it and the production server. I have since shut that door by creating new copies of the offending databases and fine tuning the replication settings.This was back in October. 2007. There has been no replcations between the servers since. After shutting the replication door I had to delete a number of test documents from the production databases to clean it up. Soft Deletions are not enabled. Theree are actually two procution databaseds thatreplcate so the deletions took effect on the other production replica also.
On Jan 6 2008 a bunch of the old documents reappeared on both production databases. I immediately checked the replication logs. There had been no replcations between the test server (or any other server for that matter except the two production servers) since that day in October.
The added and modifcation dates for these reappeared documents date back to October.
Did they reppear because the deletion stubs did not have the oppertunity to replcate back to the test server. Why did they reappear.
Let me repeat that there there has been no replications to any test database since October.
