EXPERT RESPONSE
Without seeing your code, I am guessing that you have run into a common issue that I have seen several times. You cannot directly control what appears on the replication tab, either programmatically or through the UI. However, the replication tab will be automatically updated based on changes made to the workspace.
My guess is that you used the createReplica method to create a local replica of the Lotus Notes database, and you were surprised that this did not update the replication page. The fact is that just creating the local replica does not create the needed icons on the workspace.
Here is the procedure you need to follow:
- Call notesUIworkspace.AddDatabase to add a workspace icon for the server copy of the Lotus Notes database.
- Call notesUIworkspace.createReplica to create the local replica.
- Call notesUIworkspace.AddDatabase again, this time to add an icon for the local replica copy.
At this point, since both the server and local copies are represented by icons on the local workspace, the link between the two will exist on the replication tab.
