For over a decade, Prominic has been dedicated to one fundamental principle: your success is our success. But we've also learned something crucial: database inconsistencies can cause devastating downtime costs, and the vast majority of organizations struggle with unexpected outages that impact their operations.
We understand that behind every database, every application, and every server lies something far more valuable - your business operations, your customer relationships, and your organizational reputation.
When we see our clients struggling with complex HCL Domino environments, losing sleep over database inconsistencies, or spending countless hours on manual auditing processes, we don't just see technical challenges. We see real people facing real pressure to keep their organizations running smoothly.
That's why we built ReplicaChecker - not just as another tool, but as a reflection of our unwavering commitment to protecting what matters most to you: your data integrity and operational excellence.
ReplicaChecker is a powerful Domino Java Addin that ensures database consistency across Domino servers by automatically identifying and fixing discrepancies between replicas. It represents our dedication to creating enterprise-grade solutions that solve real-world problems.
Understanding Your HCL Domino Database Consistency Challenges
Through years of working closely with our clients across various industries, we've witnessed the same critical pain points repeatedly:
We have dozens of Domino servers across multiple locations, and ensuring all our database replicas stay synchronized is critical to our operations. When inconsistencies occur, we often don't discover them until it's too late, leading to data discrepancies that can impact business decisions and create potential compliance issues.
At Prominic, we believe these shouldn't be your problems. Technology should work for you, not against you.
Our Solution: ReplicaChecker Java Addin - Built with Your Peace of Mind in Focus
ReplicaChecker represents everything we stand for at Prominic: reliability, transparency, and genuine care for our clients' success. Every feature was designed by asking ourselves: "How can we make our clients' lives easier and their data safer?"

Automatic Domino Database Remediation - Because Your Time is Valuable
Unlike traditional monitoring tools that just tell you what's broken, ReplicaChecker actively fixes problems:
Automatic Replica Creation: Missing databases? ReplicaChecker creates full replicas with all documents automatically, eliminating manual intervention
Intelligent Problem Detection: Identifies document count mismatches and provides clear guidance for resolution using standard Domino replication
Smart Error Handling: Distinguishes between truly missing databases and permission issues, preventing false positives
Dual Operation Modes - Tailored to Your Infrastructure Size
Direct Access Mode (Default)
Perfect for precise, real-time validation of your databases
Directly opens and compares databases on both servers for maximum accuracy
Ideal for environments where accuracy and detail are paramount
Catalog-Based Mode (Enterprise Scale)
Designed for large infrastructures with thousands of databases
Uses Domino's catalog.nsf for rapid comparisons without opening each database
Automatically updates catalogs on both servers before comparison
Perfect for enterprise environments where performance at scale matters
Core Values Embedded in Every Feature
Comprehensive Validation: Every database, every replica, every document count is verified with meticulous attention to detail
Intelligent Categorization: Automatically categorizes issues into missing databases, permission errors, and document mismatches
Complete Documentation: Every operation is logged to the dedicated ReplicaCheckerLog.nsf database with rich-text formatted reports
Flexible Scheduling: Run checks manually on-demand or schedule them at customizable intervals (default: every 12 hours)
Selective Processing: Intelligently skips system databases, with options to exclude mail files and NTF templates
Console Integration: All operations manageable through familiar Domino console commands
Permission-Aware: Tracks permission errors separately on both source and target servers for easy troubleshooting
Single Database Operations: Test replica creation on individual databases before running full server comparisons

What ReplicaChecker Does NOT Do
Does not synchronize documents for existing replicas with count mismatches (use standard Domino replication)
Does not modify replication schedules or connection documents
Does not process documents beyond counting them
