Desynchronizing Replica Properties

By default, when you replicate an object, all of its properties are also replicated, and synchronized to the original, and are uneditable in the replica property sheet.

1. Open the property sheet of a replica, and then click the Version Info tab.
2. Click the Replication Properties button in the Replicated From groupbox to open the replication property sheet:
   
   
3. Click one of the following tabs to display the type of property you want to desynchronize:
   
   

   • Attributes – properties that contain a single value

   • Collections – properties that can contain multiple values

   • Sub-replications – sub-objects, that have their own property sheets

4. Clear the check boxes next to the items that you want to desynchronize:
   
   
5. [for sub-replications] Select the sub-object in the list on the Sub-replications tab and click the properties tool to open its sub-replication property sheet. Then clear the relevant check boxes to desynchronize its properties.
6. Click OK to return to the replica property sheet.

   The desynchronized properties are now editable in the property sheet, and will no longer be synchronized with the original.
