To disable replication temporarily for a replica

About this task

You can disable replication for a selected replica temporarily. This is useful if you want to prevent an application from being updated, for example to see whether a local replica is corrupted before replicating with a server. All other replicas of the application, local or on servers, go on replicating unless you also disable replication for them.

Tip: Removing the check mark in the Enabled column of the Replication page for a replica also disables replication.

Procedure

  1. Open a replica and clickFile > Replication > Options for this Application.
  2. Under Other, select Temporarily disable replication for this replica, and click OK.

Procedure

  2. Under Other, select CD-ROM publishing date and enter a date.
  3. Click OK.
