DIRECTORY SERVICES

Replicating a condensed Directory Catalog
There are many fields combined in each aggregate document in a condensed Directory Catalog, and for this reason aggregate documents frequently change and require replication. Schedule replication between a server that builds a directory catalog and other servers that have replicas to occur at least several times a day to keep up with changes in the aggregate documents.

IBM® Lotus® Notes® clients should replicate local condensed Directory Catalog with a replica on a server either daily or weekly, depending on whether the clients have fast connections to the server. It's best for clients that connect on the road over dial-up connections to wait to replicate a directory catalog until a fast connection is available.

Give all servers that are not Dircat servers, as well as all clients, only Reader access (the default) to a condensed Directory Catalog, to prevent the clients/servers from being able to replicate changes to the replica on a Dircat server.
