How do I add or remove replicas from bookmarks?

You can add or remove a replica of an IBM® Notes® application from your bookmarks. You can also find all the servers that have a replica of an application, and direct your bookmark to find a new server to which the server administrator has moved a replica.

About this task

If the Manage Replica Server List dialog box is not open, right-click (Macintosh users, Ctrl+click) the bookmark for a replica and click Open Replica > Manage Replicas (Notes Basic client users: click Open Replica > Manage List).

About this task

When you attempt to replicate to a replica and receive a message that the replica has moved to a different server, you need to point your bookmark to the new server.

Procedure

  1. Locate the replica's bookmark.
  2. Right-click the bookmark, then select Open Replica > Manage List.
  3. Type the name of the new server to which you want to replicate at the bottom and click Add.
  4. The next time Notes® replicates, it tries the old server first, then the new server you just added.
