Can you still work or is all the logic on the server?
A. If connectivity is down, replication cannot occur. When you start Notes, Notes checks to see if replication is scheduled. If it is, Notes replicates in the background based on that schedule.
For example, suppose you have scheduled replication for 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday with a 360-minute repeat interval. If you start Notes at 9 AM on Tuesday, Notes immediately replicates, and replicates again 360 minutes later. If Notes fails to perform a scheduled replic ation (due to no connectivity), Notes tries to replicate again each minute until the attempt is successful.
When you use Notes away from the office, replication is a great tool to have. When you replicate your Customer database, for example, you can have a current copy of your complete Customer file with you at all times.
When you finally do connect to the server, Notes sends any Customer Database updates up to the server, pulls down any changes made by other users, and pushes up to the server any mail that you created on your local replica. In a matter of seconds, your Custome r database is current with the Customer Database on the server and any stored emails are distributed.
