USING NOTES OFFLINE

Using Notes offline
You can create an offline (local) copy of any IBM® Lotus® Notes® application you use. Such a copy -- or replica -- is a duplicate of the application. Through replication, Lotus Notes® can keep a local replica identical with the application on the server, so you make changes once, but they appear in both places. Replication is a great tool to have when working with large documents or applications, since a local replica can open documents and views much faster than a server application can over a network.

Note An application copy (created by clicking File > Application > New Copy) cannot be replicated.

Dialup connections

When you're away from your office network, working in a local replica is much faster than making the same changes over a dialup telephone connection.

You can use the Replication page to have Notes call each server you want to replicate with automatically. If you're using a passthru server or a network (remote LAN) server, you can have Notes make a single call and replicate all the applications on your computer at one time, even if they're on different servers.

Server-based replicas

Replication also lets users on various networks in a variety of (physical) locations share the most current version of information in an application. If you want to create a replica of a server-based application on a different server, ask your IBM® Lotus® Domino™ administrator for assistance.
