I have a document with a computed field that determins the expiration date of a product. There is one document for each product. I am getting Save or replication conflicts.The product expires 5 years from the manufacture date. So i simply add five years the the Mfg. date to get the expiration date in a computed field. I also have another computed field that determines the number of days to the expiration date. i do this by subtracting @Today from the expiration date. i refresh the docs with a nightly agent so the view is accurate. There is a replica of the the database on another server that replicates every hour.
If I manually refresh all the docs, and then the servers replicate, I get a Save or Replication error for each document. I have no idea why its doing this. Can anyone suggest?? Thank you!!

On which server is the agent set to run, the one u are using to run it manually OR the other one?

I don’t know. I did not realize you can set it to run on a particular server. Then it must be running on both servers and I run it manually on one server. Should it only run on one server at night? You set this in the agent properties?Thanks!

YES…

OK, thank you. If I need to run the refresh agent manally, should I run it on the server where the scheduled agent runs, or does it not matter?

On the same server,
Replication checks for changes to a field (value and internal Dt/time stamp)
Since the same fields get changed within each document on two different servers and their dt/time stamp is different conflict is created.
Also in the form properties (2nd tab, i think) there is a flag to Create or MERGE conflicts. set it to MERGE conflicts, then less conflicts are created.
