We would like to implement the R6 Reservations db and allow users to book rooms through their Notes Calendars. We have users in many USA time zones as well as Europe and Asia. We do need to be able to book cross site meetings. Would one replica on one server of the Reservations db handle this ? Time Zones… performance etc. Everything I read says not to use multiple replica’s of the Reservations db on multiple servers… I can understand that due to the BusyTime, NAB and AdminP functions that are involved with Reservations.
Anyone have any thoughts on this or has done a global roll-out ?
thanks in advance

Subject: One way is to split the rooms/resources according to location …
… and put them in separate databases. For example: put all US stuff in one database.
People using the calendar (meeting form) to make reservations won’t notice this.
Maybe it is even easier for the people that manage the reservations (secretaries ?): they all have databases for themselves.

the company i work for uses a single (clustered) reservations database to cover 3 countries and 5 timezones, which works fine. while this is fairly small, reservations don’t exactly take a lot of grunt from a server.
