From Frustration to Fascination: Dissecting Replication

An in-depth webinar co-hosted with TLCC

Replication is one of the most important pillars of the IBM Notes and Domino Architecture. Whether you’re an administrator or developer, replications plays an integral role in your life, and let’s face it, this relationship has its ups and downs. This session will reveal how its underpinnings work, what can go wrong, how to setup and manage selective replication and why, how to best consolidate cluster and standard replication, what traps to look for and how to get out of them once you’re caught. Learn about tips, tricks and code that will help you debug and tackle the toughest replication problems (conflicts, ghosts, inconsistencies etc…) like a pro. At the end of this presentation, you will walk away with a clearer understanding of how the replication engine works, and you’ll be ready to turn this sometimes tumultuous relationship into a harmonious and happy one.
