In Lotus Notes Client, we can create new replica by manual but it was a lot of databases, decided to create a copy of our agents to run. But we are not a copy, a replica. We, NotesDatabase.CreateCopy method (it only copies the design) does not copy the documents found. Our method can not obtain a handle to all documents in the source database are copied to the destination database that could have been. But instead we had to use another approach. Then we have a unique replica and create a new replica ID of the database decided to change. This creates a copy of the database.

We’ve used soft deletes before, but never with response documents. So when our first project asking for that came about, it was time for some testing.

If you restore the child, then the parent is still soft-deleted, so the child becomes an orphan in production. Conversely, if you restore the parent and not the child, that child, although not an orphan, might not be visible to your “deleted documents” views depending on how they were set up, so it might not be possible to restore that child.

With a distributed application like Notes, one of the problems is that someone can have a local replica and not replicate for a while. This can cause problems like previously deleted documents reappearing, or replication conflicts. This tip describes one way of reminding users to replicate at least somewhat frequently. If the user hasn’t replicated in a week or more, they are reminded to replicate so they’ll have the latest information.
