Hi,We need to replicate data between two repositories, but as we have dumped (alf_data and DB) from repository 1 to repository 2, so both of them are having same repository ID. Now as new content has been created as well as updated on repository 1, we need to replicate that on repository 2 using rep

Your repository IDs need to be unique. There's not a lot that uses them at the moment but replication and sync are where repository ids become important. You need to change the repository id of one of the repos.

Working out the best way to do this is still on my "todo" list, so I can't give advice at the moment.

Hi Mrogers,

Thanks for quick reply !

What is the reason why repository ids need's to be unique, I want to know what can be the possible areas that are likely to not function properly if we removed that equality IF check for repository ID.

Thanks,

The purpose of the repository id is to be a uniqie identifier. If its not unique then nothing that uses it will work. In terms of transfer, it won't know where files come from so will get confused with updates and the functionaility to "open in source repository" will open the wrong repo.

You should check whether or not the non admin user has any permissions in the site. It sounds like you need to add the user to the site as a member with sufficient privilages to create documents.
