Purge Interval Replication ( PIRC ) in different scenarios

  • 27 Mar, 2014

The Purge Interval Replication settings stop expired documents from replicating back into databases

The   Purge Interval Replication Controle ( PIRC )  is set on a database, to prevent expired documents or deletions to replicate back into that database from a different replica
It will not stop new documents or new deletions from replicating to that replica.

- If Pirc is disabled on a replica, then expired documents and deletions will replicate to that replica.
New documents  and new deletions will always replicate - Pirc does not interfere with new documents

PIRC is set in the Notes client :    File > Replication > Options for this Application > Space Savers.

There are 6 different scenario’s possible :
1- Push ( sent )  from a PIRC enabled to a Pirc enabled database replica

2.-  Pull ( receive )  from a PIRC enabled to a Pirc enabled database replica

3.-  Push ( sent ) from a PIRC enabled to a Pirc disabled database replica

4.- Push ( sent ) from a PIRC disabled to a  Pirc enabled database replica

5.- Pull ( receive ) from a PIRC disabled to a  Pirc enabled database replica

6.- Pull ( receive ) from a PIRC enabled to a  Pirc disabled database replica

What will the result be in the different scenario’s above ?

Expired documents and deletions will NOT replicate in scenarios 1.   2,  4 and 5. Pirc stops them because Pirc is Enabled on the destination.

Expired documents and deletions will   replicate in scenarios 3 and 6

So only in the case where the destination of the replication does not have PIRC enabled, the replication will pull in expired documents and deletions.
This happens even if the source replica has PIRC enabled.

I found the information above on a draft TN when i was searching information about PIRC

Migrating messages from Domino to Google using IMAP

  • 20 Feb, 2022

It's only for messages. No calendar migration Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another. If you don't understand the previous sentence, it's normal, it's pedantic computer-oriented jargon. All folders are transferred, recursively, meaning the whole folder hierarchy is taken, all messages in them, and all message flags (\Seen\Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too. Imapsync reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it already resides on the destination side. Messages that are on the destination side but not on the source side stay as they are. Get the tool here  https://github.com/imapsyn

Notes / Domino is forever

  • 04 Feb, 2021

Yesterday it seemed like it would be an ordinary working day but a client called me informing about the expiration of a certifier. It would be normal to resolve the problem with the re-certification procedures but it was a special certificate. This client has been using Notes/Domino since version 4.0.  When I saw the certificate creation date 05/09/1996 I was impressed. This customer uses the environment for mail and applications for 25 years!. How times flies I started working for this client in 1999 by installing the first R5 server (5.0.4) on an IBM Netfinity 5500 Server running Windows NT 4.0. The hardware is gone, the operating system and the administrators who created this certifer
