Hallo,
I have a question. We have 6 "Replicas" located on laptops etc. Periodically the users synchronise with the "Master" which is located on a server in the office. Works great.
I now wanted to modify a datatype inorder to improve some functionality and discovered that the "Master" is actually another "Replica". Everyone has been synchronising with a "Replica". And this for a very long time, so no data seems to have gotten lost.
I did know this was even possible.
Anyway, how do to create a new "Master" from the pseudo Master (actually a Replica) and can I do this without loosing the ability to synchronise everything. Some users only come in seldom so I cannot be sure that everyone is fully synchronised before I try to repair the "Master".
I cannot change any datatypes in a "Replica" and will need to recreate the missing "Master".
Any ideas what I am up against?
Thanks
Thomas
