Hi All, Couple of years back when we launched our Sales application we set “Selective Replication” enabled for the field guys. ie they replicate only certain views from the server. So the replication settings on 60 odd laptops has few views selected. Now as we are facing problems introducing new views in to the database we decided to remove the selective replication option. Will just disabling selective replication on the SERVER solve the problem or should we make changes to the replication settings of the each user by removing the views from their replication settings ?
Please advice. Is there any other issues with it ?

You will need to do it on the destination database(Local)
Look in the Designer help for NotesReplicationEntry, look at the Formula property.

Thanks JYR. Can i leave the server side selective replication(view selection) as it is now and remove it on the local replicas and later remove it on the server once every local replica has been fixed ?
or in other words can the servers replication settings differ from the local replication settings ??

the replication settings are replica specific, meaning, each replica’s replication settings are independant

Thanks for your reply Paul. But i had problems initially when i set this database with “Selective Replication”. I had selected view1 on the server and view1&view2 on the local replica. I created some documents on the server for view1 & view 2 and replicated it with the local. After replication the view2 documents on the server got deleted. Then once i made the exact selection on the server as the local replica everything was fine.
Thats the reason i was asking can the server’s replication settings be different from the local replica.

In the Replication Settings on the Advanced tab make sure the database is set to not replicate the Replication Formula (on the bottom left)

Sure, its unchecked. Thanks a lot Paul.
