CONFIGURING

Specifying replication direction
When you choose replication direction, you identify which server(s) send and receive changes. The direction you choose does not affect or restrict the functionality of the replication process itself.

About this task

DominoŽ uses Pull-Push as the replication direction by default. However, you can specify a different replication direction.

Pull-Push, the default replication direction, is a two-way process in which the calling server pulls updates from the answering server and then pushes its own updates to the answering server. Using Pull-Push, the replicator task on the calling server performs all the work.
Pull-Pull is a two-way process in which two servers exchange updates. Using Pull-Pull, two replicators -- one on the calling server and one on the answering server -- share the work of replication.
Push-only is a one-way process in which the calling server pushes updates to the answering server. One-way replication always takes less time than two-way replication.
Pull-only is a one-way process in which the calling server pulls updates from the answering server. One-way replication always takes less time than two-way replication.

You can also specify replication direction when you force replication. For example, you could use the Push-only or Pull-only method from the server console when there is an update in a Domino Directory on one server and you want to manually propagate that change to the other servers.
