Technote 1099635 - Which Domino Server databases have replica IDs related to names.nsf
Monday 10th March, 2008I came across this technote and did not realize the pattern that exists for certain database replica IDs that are similiar to Domino Directory's replica ID. Thought I would share.

The replica IDs of some Lotus Domino® server databases are related to that of the Domino Directory (names.nsf). Which ones are related and which ones are not?
The following is a list of Domino server databases that have a known replica ID based on the replica ID of the domain's Domino Directory:
catalog.nsf
events4.nsf
statrep.nsf
ddm.nsf
admin4.nsf
billing.nsf
vpuserinfo.nsf (Sametime Authorization Database)
activity.nsf
Example:
Notice that the similarity is in the last six (6) characters of the replica ID (4EBCCF in this example). The distinguishing characters are the first two (2) characters of the unique part of the replica ID (01, 02, 03, 04 in this example), such as 852564AC:044EBCCF.
Mail.box which is built automatically upon server startup has a randomly generated replica ID, unrelated to that of names.nsf, as does certlog.nsf which must be built manually.
In Lotus Notes®/Domino 5 releases:
Only the admin4.nsf and catalog.nsf replica IDs are similar to the names.nsf replica ID. This differs from previous versions in which events4.nsf and statrep.nsf were also similar.
In release 5, you may also notice that the replica IDs of the following databases are similar to one another (but not necessarily similar to names.nsf):
log.nsf
statrep.nsf
statmail.nsf
reports.nsf
certsrv.nsf
With these five databases, all but the last four (4) characters are identical, for example:
