Replication Enforcing a Consistent ACL 84 You can ensure that an ACL remains identical on all database replicas on servers by selecting the Enforce a Consistent Access Control List setting on the Advanced tab of the ACL. Setting this option ensures that the replica whose server has Manager access to other replicas will keep the Access Control List the same across all server replicas of a database. If you select a replica whose server does not have Manager access to other replicas, replication fails because the server has inadequate access to replicate the ACL. Read Access Lists for Database Design Elements and Documents Simply put, if the server can't read something in the database, it can't replicate it. Replication prob- lems sometimes arise when a database designer restricts the reading of design elements such as forms and views but forgets to include the server or a server group in the read access lists. Similarly, if the designer restricts reading of documents with a Readers field, he must ensure that the servers are listed in that field if the servers should be replicating the data to other server-based replicas. Resolving Replication and Save Conflicts A replication conflict occurs when two or more users edit the same document and save the changes in different replicas between replications. A save conflict occurs when two or more users open and edit the same document at the same time on the same server, even if they're editing different fields. When these conditions occur, Domino stores the results of one editing session in a main document and stores the results of additional editing sessions as response documents. These response docu- ments have the title Replication or Save Conflict. Note
