Replication and sync schedules

USING NOTES OFFLINE

Replication and sync schedules
Using a replication and sync schedule, you can replicate/sync local applications on a regular basis automatically. You can set up different schedules for different locations. For example, you could set up a replication and sync schedule for your Online location only, or specify different schedules for your Online and Home locations.

When you start IBMR Lotus NotesR, NotesR checks to see if replication and sync is scheduled for the current location. If it is, Notes replicates and syncs based on that schedule. If Notes fails to perform a scheduled replication and sync, Notes tries again each minute until the attempt is successful.

If your local applications contain time-sensitive information, it may be useful to do the following:

Schedule replication and sync shortly before you normally start using Notes and shortly before you normally finish using Notes at a particular location. This way, you can get the most up-to-date information from servers at the beginning of the day and provide information you've updated to servers at the end of the day.
If you replicate and sync over a slow cable or DSL connection, schedule replication and sync during the middle of the night when servers are not as busy. Leave Notes and your computer running and the cable Internet connection on when you stop work.

If you specify certain applications as high-priority, Notes will replicate or sync them on an additional, more frequent schedule than other applications. For example, you might set your mail application as high-priority. Then you can specify the additional interval for your mail application as part of the overall schedule. For example, if most applications replicate and sync every hour, you could set high-priority applications to replicate and sync every half hour.

High-priority application entries on the Replication page appear with a check mark in the High Priority column.

Note: If your administrator gives you roaming user privileges, Notes automatically enables the schedule and sets replication to occur on startup (step 7) and shutdown (step 10). For more information, see Managing your roaming user information.
