We have 3 domino servers, one purpose for databases and two with purpose for mail.
Now there are some databases on the mail servers and people have updated different databases.
When I try to replicate from one mail server to the database server with Replication > Replicate (from Notes) and choose Send and receive documents I got response with 0 replications.
Am I doing this wrong?
Subject: are the servers already replicated?
Are the servers set up in a cluster, that these changes would have already been handled via cluster replication? Or do they have connection documents to automate the replication, and they have already replicated before you tried to manually replicate them?
Subject: replicate
The two mailservers are in cluster. The database server is not.
rep server database seems not to work either from the domino console.
Subject: working, just no new data - connections?
The good news is that the replicate seems to be working. You aren’t getting an error that it cannot replicate with that server, or that the database can’t be replicated.
So why isn’t it getting new data? Well, you’ve ruled out cluster replication. But you didn’t say anything about server-to-server connection documents. Do they have connection documents to automate the replication, and they have already replicated before you tried to manually replicate them? That would explain why there would be no NEW data when you do it manually.
Check the Admin client, configuration tab, servers>Connections and look for a connection document from dbserver<>mail server (either one). Also, check the notes log on the dbserver and see if it replicated with one of the mail servers.
Subject: administration server
Yes I have a connection document for that. Can it be some permissions somewhere?
I changed administration server to the db server on some databases on the mail server - then it worked with some of the databases but others - still no luck.
Subject: permissions would error
If it were permissions on the database, you’d see that message in the log.
Permissions on the documents themselves is possible. If the documents are secured with readers fields, you should have one readers field that includes “LocalDomainServers”, and all your servers should be in a group named “LocalDomainServers”.
Subject: readers field
The problem was the readers field in the databases. The $admin group was there so I added the servers and changed it to mixed group.
