asked on

sometimes replication does not work.....

Hi all

This is the first time I have asked a Q in LN.

I dont use LN my self and never have, but a customer of mine does and she is having problem with her local replication. after she has diald in to the server and the connection is all ok her local re[plication works fine but then after some time (an hour or so) she cant replicate on local but the dial in connection to the server is still established.

she sometimes get this error at the bottom of the page on the replication page: "cant have the same name server"

what does this mean?

If anybody know of any know problems please let me know, ty

Also if the LN server is down can one still do a local replication?

Local replication?

If the server is not running you can't do replication
is she doing replication only mail application or thier any other application also?

and what is the verison of OS and Notes?

Hello again and thank you all for the responce...#


Firstly
She does replicate many things i dont know as yet what they are!
she's using win 95 or 98
notes version is 4.51

madheeswar
ty for your comment I will sujest to here to replicate each item one by one, she will call me if the problem comes around again.

qwaletee
I dont know what she means by local replication, i have never used notes before, but this is what she has said "local replication"
on notes on the bottom right corner of the screen you have the connection details like office, connected disconnected etc, thats what i think she means!

She use's RAS windows dial-up to access our servers which gives the user access to the net and LN and other things.

I will tell her to replicate one by one and see the exact error if it comes up again......

It would be easier if you can get the exact error message.. it gives out more clue
Huseyin1,
> office, connected disconnected etc

These are "location profile names."  They allow yuo to do things like specify what network connectivity you have, where yuor mail is located, a user ID to switch to etc., how often to automatically replicate -- all things that might change as you move physically from one location to another, or disconnect your laptop, etc.

By Local Replication, she might have simply meant Notes client replication versus DOmino server replication.

Version 4.51 is Realy, Really, Really, Really, Really old.  Kind of like using Intenet Explorer v3 or Netscape v3.  The current version is 6, most of the world is at least on 5, and even those on 4 are using 4.6, which has some significant changes from 4.5.
Which version Qwaletee do u think is better?
My choice goes for 4.5

And as per I know, thier is no version where Lotus clears all the bugs.

Do u agree!
Madheeswar,
You prefer 4.5?  No way! 4.6 added lots of built-in Domino UI to the designer, directory asistance, internet client, computed text.  Why would I use 4.5, unless I needed a Mac, Unix, or OS/2 client?
I did not worked more on 4.6 and don't have that much exp., in finding bugs. As pre I know, even IBM is still using 4.5 servers.
Why don'y they upgrade?

If they won't upgrade to latest version, then who will upgrade?

Can I have discussion topic in EE?

I want to discuss on Lotus Notes future. Pros and Cons compared to other softwares.

Can I open a new thread on that topic?

-Thanks
this version of LN is the standard business version meaning it used by the company all over the world and thats their limit we cant upgrade.
I have called my local support team and have asked them to deal with the problem in which there are now doing so. It's too complecated for me as I dont use LN, so this problem is no longer mine.

thank you all anyway

I'll disk out points all over......
