Forcing a server database to replicate
Replication between database replicas on servers typically occurs according to schedules in Connection documents. You might want to force replication between two replicas, rather than wait for replication to occur on schedule, for example, you might force replication when you want to test replication settings or troubleshoot replication problems. You can force replication either from a database or from the server console.

For information on replicating between a local replica and a server replica, see Lotus Notes 6 Help.

To force replication from the server console

If you are a server administrator, you can use a database option with the Replicate, Pull, or Push server commands to force replication of a specific database that two servers have in common.


For example, to send changes to the database PRODUCTS.NSF from the server Webstage-E/East/Acme to the server Web/East/Acme, enter the following command from the server console on Webstage-E/East/Acme:
For more information on these commands, see Lotus Domino Administrator 6 Help.
