Hi All,
Here’s the scenario…
I replicated a large 40000 doc db from an old 5.x server to a 6.5 server. The db then replicated itself but the 6.5 server db wrote 60000 docs to the 5.x db for a grand total of 100000 docs. These documents were old documents that were supposedly deleted. Any help on how I can clean it up and why it happened?
Thanks,
Ben

It happened because the deletion stubs had already been removed from the database. The default time frame to retain deletion stubs is 90 days – if it had been longer than that since you replicated the database, the deletions were repped back to the server.
Easiest way to clean it up is to go by the “added in this file” date. Create a view that sorts on this field, and then delete everything that has the date you repped the database.

How do you get the “Added in this file” date in a view? I saw a posting that says it cannot be done in formulars.
