APAR status

• Closed as returned (APAR cannot be resolved without additional info from IBM or customer.)

Error description

• Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Prepare Domino 8.5.2 and 8.0.2 servers in a same domain.
  
  They are not clustered.
  
  2. Setup mail journal as:
  
  2-1) Create a documnet for mail-in database
  
  on Administrator client > People & Group Tab > Domino
  Directories
  > DOMAIN's Directory > Mail-In Databases and Resources:
  
  Basics Tab > Basics > Mail-in name: mailjrn
  Basics Tab > Location > Domain: <Domain>
  Basics Tab > Location > Server: <Name of Domino 8.5.2>
  Basics Tab > Location > File name: mailjrn.nsf
  
  2-2) Setup Configuration Settings of Domino 8.5.2 as:
  
  Router/SMTP > Advanced > Journaling > Basics > Journaling:
  Enabled
  Router/SMTP > Advanced > Journaling > Basics > Method: Copy to
  local database
  Router/SMTP > Advanced > Journaling > Database management >
  Method: Periodic Rollover
  Router/SMTP > Advanced > Journaling > Database management >
  Periodicity:  1 days
  
  2-3 ) Create a mail rule of Configuration Setting of Domino
  8.5.2 as:
  
  Router/SMTP > Restrictions and Controls > Rules:
  When All Documents, Journal this Message
  
  3. Add the parameter below to Domino 8.5.2's notes.ini:
  
  create_r85_databases=1
  
  4. Restart Domino server, send an e-mail to self,
  and check if the mail is journalized to mailjrn.nsf.
  
  5. Convert the mailjrn.nsf to ODS 51 by Domino console commands:
  
  tell router q
  compact mailjrn.nsf -C
  l router
  
  6. Shutdown Domino 8.5.2 and 8.0.2 servers,
  set system date tomorrow,
  and start the Domino servers.
  
  7. Check if mailjrn.nsf is rollover, and if MJmmddyyyy.nsf is
  creatred.
  
  8. Set ACL of MJmmddyyyy.nsf as LocalDomainServers are
  Administrator.
  
  9. Move the MJmmddyyyy.nsf to Domino 8.0.2 on Administrator
  client by:
  
  Files Tab > <Select MJmmddyyyy.nsf> > right-click > Move,
  
  and select the target Domino 8.0.2 server.
  
  10. Proceed with Administator requests:
  
  Check Access for Non-cluster Move Replica
  Non Cluster Move Replica
  
  11. Only small db less than 1MB is replicated  Domino 8.0.2.
  (BUG)
  
  If the replication is from Domino 8.5.2 to Domino 8.5.2,
  then the problem does not occur.

Comments

• This APAR is associated with SPR# TAIA8S4V8D.
  Does this happen for all databases?  OR is it specific to the
   mail journal?  Also is it just the stub is created on the 802
   server and a subsequent replication will bring over the docs?
   When the 2 servers are both 8.52 then the admin client will
   use 'fast replication' (copy db) when they are different major
   versions is will use the slower new replica, replicate notes
   version.
