Description

According to HCL product documentation, Log_Replication defines how detailed the current server records replication events in the server log file. The permitted values are:
  • 0 — Replication events are not logged.
  • 1 — Logs that a database is replicating (default value).
  • 2 — Logs information about each individual replicated database.
  • 3 — Logs information about each replicated document (both design and data documents).
  • 4 — Logs information about each replicated field.
  • 5 — Logs summary information about replication events.
The setting applies exclusively to servers. According to HCL there is no direct equivalent in the graphical interface; however, the value can be stored in the configuration document of the Domino directory on the NOTES.INI Settings tab.

Example configuration

Log_Replication=2
With Log_Replication=2, the server writes one entry per replicated database to the log file – a commonly used level for diagnosing replication problems, significantly more detailed than the default without logging individual fields or documents.

Notes & pitfalls

  • The parameter affects only servers (HCL: Applies to: Servers) – setting it on a Notes client has no documented effect.
  • Higher values (3 or 4) generate very extensive logging. HCL generally points out that NOTES.INI settings should be modified with care.
  • According to HCL documentation, the notes.ini should not be edited directly with a text editor; instead, maintenance is recommended via the configuration document or the server console.
  • The default value is 1; an empty or unset entry corresponds to the default.
