Domino database replication problem

Hi,I’m facing a critical problem and every attempt to resolve this makes me the same result, dead end. I’m very grateful if someone could help me.

How can I configure Domino to push changes from one database to replica database in same server immidiately when the document is saved/edited/deleted? The replication works fine when launching the replication from client menu. Console command or scheluded(connection)replication doesn’t work. ACL is ok(editor-reader).

We used this feature in R4&R5!

What do you mean, a database replica on the same server?

To my knowledge, you aren’t supposed to have more than one replica of each database on a single server.

Even on a clustered environement, each server in the cluster should only contain one replica of each database.

If you want a replica from server A to replicate immediately to server B, then what you are looking for is, in effect, a Notes cluster.

Good luck!

Thanks Nicolas.

This feature was supported in early releases.

The reason for this kind of configuration is that I need to give anonymous intranet users change to read public documents made by authenticated users. The database have strightly set access controls that anonymous users have no access. The system works only in web environment.

If someone have better idea than replication give me some hint.

I am not sure that I follow your line of reasoning.

What’s the link between this and the need for a separate replication?

You can protect document from being readable by using read access fields on each document, and roles to control who can read them.

So, the authorized people who post documents post them straight on the right database (the only, central one) with the correct access right to be read by all, where as non authorized user are posting messages with a reader field allowing only authorized people to read.

To tighten security, set anonymous to READER on the ACL, but then make sure every view except the one view you need them to access is restricted to the required roles (that the anonymous people won’t have) and make sure every document in your database is correctly set with an appropriate reader field.

Let me know if you need further assistance with that technique - or if I misunderstood your needs??

Good luck!

Replication is the best way to do this, but not on the same server, is the point.

You need two Notes servers running to do this properly. Although you don’t necessarily need two boxes. You can partition your current box and have two instances of Domino run on it, assuming the box can handle it.
