Simple synchronization<br />

Simple synchronization means the content of a source database is synchronized<br />

to a single destination database (one-to-one).<br />

Figure 8-2 Simple synchronization<br />

This is the most common case when you want to create a Domino database<br />

(Destination) that will include only a part of another database's documents<br />

(Source). In these documents, you may want to keep only some of the fields.<br />

For example, consider the creation of a “Business card” database using the<br />

LDAP directory as a source database, including only the entries referring to<br />

persons (ObjectClass=Person). Only the Name, First name, Address and Phone<br />

number fields would be retrieved from these entries.<br />

Synchronization can also be implemented when the destination database<br />

already exists (with all its documents), and you only want to impact one or two<br />

fields in the existing documents. For example, if you work with an LDAP Human<br />

Resources directory including the company employees' phone numbers, you can<br />

update the phone numbers in the Person documents of the Domino Directory.<br />

Broadcast<br />

Broadcast synchronization is when you synchronize a single source database to<br />

many destination databases (one-to-many).<br />
