An entry consists of a row on the Replication page.
(If each has been edited and saved the same number of times, Notes designates the most recently saved document as the main document.) Notes shows the other(s) as responses to the main document with a diamond symbol in the left margin.ĭeletions are a special case. Replication ConflictsĪfter two or more users edit and save the same document, at the next replication Notes designates the most frequently edited and saved document as the main document. Then delete either the main document or the response as described below. To fix conflicts that do occur (if you are the person in charge of eliminating conflicts in an application), examine each conflict and decide whether you want to keep the main document or the response, depending on which is more timely and accurate. A save conflict occurs when two or more users edit the same document in an application on a server at the same time.
A replication conflict occurs when two or more users edit in the same document in different replicas between one replication and the next. Replication/Save conflicts are a "necessary evil" in a distributed environment like Lotus Notes.
