IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.x local mail replicas: Advantages, considerations, and best practices


Lotus Notes and Domino provide the benefit of working “locally,” using local replicas of Notes applications/databases. The main benefit—and the original idea behind the local-replica mode—is to allow users to work while offline or when connected via slow networks (dialup, reduced bandwidth, etc.). Users can do their work, reply to mail messages, access applications, etc., and then connect and replicate, simply and painlessly.

However, most Lotus Notes users today can connect via the Internet, Wireless Cards, etc., and most of these ISPs provide excellent speeds, which begs the question: Is it still a good idea to deploy local mail file replicas, and what are the benefits, considerations, and best practices for doing so?

Over the years, it’s been common for companies to debate whether to deploy local replicas vs. server replicas for their employees, even if they are working on site when the servers and users are all on the same LAN.

Most organizations have based their decision on technical needs, security, user training, and the level of support they can provide (since they now have an additional configuration to support); however, the debate continues for some others.

So, the purpose of this article is to clarify why—or if—local replicas are a good option for your environment and how you can deploy this option.

IBM Open Mic: Domino Best Practice – Optimize your Environment


The Open Mic calls will be held on Tuesday, June 9 and Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Each call will take place at 10:00 AM EDT (2:00 PM GMT) and will last for 1 hour. Please dial into the call 5 minutes before the scheduled start. This conference call is designed to be an open question and answer format so bring your questions. We will conduct a 5 minute overview of DCT (same overview on both days) and then immediately open the floor for an active Question & Answer session. For details about the Open Mic calls, please see the Lotus Support Open Mic technical exchange page  (http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg27011126).

You can submit your question in advance via the Notes 8.5 forum using the Open Mic Invitation for this topic in the “Open Mic” category. We will also take questions not submitted in advance. Questions should be of general interest and by their nature help you install, configure, manage or optimize your environment or processes. Troubleshooting of specific problems should still be handled by Technical Support, not by Open Mic calls.

You will need to provide your name and company affiliation when dialing in. You will need a touch tone phone to be able to ask questions. The calls will be recorded and posted to our Support web site for the benefit of those customers for whom the call timing is not convenient. The recording will be added to the meeting information document above a few days after the call.

You are receiving this invitation because you are a Lotus Domino customer, who has contacted us for technical support in the past. If you do not wish to receive mails like this one from IBM, please reply to this e-mail and change the Subject field to: unsubscribe <e-mail address>, e.g. unsubscribe user@company.com. Please be aware that this will also unsubscribe you from the regular FAQ Response mailings.

Please remember to book your calendar for this call.  We look forward to talking with you!
