USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Viewing replication schedules and topology maps
You can see a graphical representation of each server's replication schedule at a glance with the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ Administrator. Each server's replication schedule appears separately, even if the server is a member of a group listed in the "Destination server" field in a Connection document.

You can also see a graphical representation of your replication topology. Replication topology maps are most useful for quickly displaying the replication topology and for letting you easily follow connections between servers.

Each server, network, cluster, and cc:Mail Post Office has its own icon. A line represents each replication connection. A replication connection between two servers appears as a broken red line. Multiple connections between servers appear as lines superimposed on each other.

To view replication schedules

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Replication tab.

2. Click Replication schedule.

3. Patterns represent the replication status of each server: Schedule is being performed; Schedule is complete; Schedule isn't complete.

To start the topology Maps task

The Maps task enables you to view replication topology from the Domino Administrator. You only need to run this task on one server in your domain. The information it gathers will replicate to the other servers, as long as it has permission to do so. This task refreshes topology information nightly.

This task is not enabled by default. To see replication topology information, enable the Maps task manually.

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Servers - Status tab.

2. Click Tools - Start.

3. Select Maps Extractor from the menu and then click Start Task.

4. Click Done.

To display the replication topology map

1. From the Bookmarks pane, select the server for which you want to create a topology map.

2. Click the Replication tab.

3. Do one of the following:

4. (Optional) Double-click any server in the topology map to make that server the center of the map.

5. (Optional) Double-click a line connecting any two servers to open the corresponding Connection document in the Domino Directory.

To focus on a specific area of the topology map, use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys to zoom in and out.
