Merge Conflicts not working between clustered 8.5.1 and 6.5.6 servers

Are there any known problems with merging conflicts between 8.5.1 and 6.5.6 clustered servers? I can’t seem to get it working at all.

I have a database of documents that are created and updated via LotusScript. When created, I create a $ConflictAction field with a value of “1”.

The db is on an 8.5.1 server and a 6.5.6 server. The users on the 8.5.1 server update one set of fields, and an automated process on the 6.5.6 server updates a different set of fields. It seems a perfect candidate for merging conflicts.

When I perform a carefully timed test and update the same doc on both servers, I end up with a rep conflict.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

…starting with ND 6, so it’s probably a problem with your 6.5.6 server.

You should check the Fix List DB, but I think there have been numerous conflict-related fixes across ND6 and ND7. I think you’d technically need to get on 7.0.4 or later to get them all.

Subject: Yeah, I thought 6.5.6 had all those fixes.

And this server is next to impossible to take down. oy vey.
