Specifying information received in all replicas on a computer
You can use the Advanced page of the Replication Settings dialog box to specify a computer and control some of the information received in all replicas on that computer during replication. You can specify a subset of folders and views to receive, and specify whether changes to design elements, (document) deletions, replication formula, and access control list are received. You can use the lists at the top of the dialog to specify a local computer, a server, or all servers that contain replicas of the database.

Note The settings in this page do not control information that is sent from replicas on this computer during replication. To limit what is sent from one computer, you must adjust the settings for what all other replicas receive from that computer.

If the Replication Settings dialog box is not open, open the replica you want to customize, choose File - Replication - Settings, and click Advanced.

To set all replicas on a specified computer to receive only a subset of folders or views

Notes can limit all replicas of a database on a local computer or server, so that they receive only documents in the folders or views you select. This is useful when you use multiple replicas for traveling or home work and there are specific folders or views you use only at the office. The folders and views are not removed from the design of the limited replica(s); only the documents in the folders or views are affected.

Caution If you set this limit on existing replicas on a computer, at the next replication all documents that are not in the specified folders or views will be deleted from the replica(s).

1. Open a replica (local or server) and choose File - Replication - Settings.

2. Under "Advanced," and "When computer," specify the computer whose replicas you want to limit.

3. Under "Receives from," specify the computers that should limit what they send to the computer you're limiting: the same local computer, one server, or any server.

4. Select "Documents in specified views or folders."

5. Select the folders and views you want to keep. Press SHIFT to select multiple and CTRL to select multiple nonconsecutive elements in the list.

6. Click OK.

To use a formula to control what is received in all replicas on a computer

If you are familiar with Notes database design and have access to Domino Designer, and are a designer of the database you want to modify, you can use a formula to specify what elements are received in all replicas of a database on a local computer or server.

Caution Modifying database design, especially on your mail, can have unforeseen consequences, and is not usually necessary. If you have questions, see your Domino Administrator. If a local replica was created from selected documents, you can apply the formula to those documents by selecting "Selected documents."

For more information on creating a selection formula, see Limiting the contents of a replica if you have installed Lotus Domino Designer 6 Help. Or, go to the Documentation Library on the Lotus Developer Domain to download or view Lotus Domino Designer 6 Help.

To specify design and other elements received in all replicas on a computer

Notes can set all replicas of a database on a local computer or server either to receive or not receive elements from other replicas. By default, all elements but the replication formula and any individually specified fields are received. You can specify settings for these elements:
