Random ReplicaID - Impact on servers?
I've opened up a PMR about this issue, here's the answer:The short answer to your question is that Domino will have no problems whatsoever with a replicaID that was generated manually-- provided it conforms to the correct format.
The main reason we use the date/time method to create ReplicaIDs is simply to avoid the generating duplicate ReplicaIDs. Once the ID has been generated, we don't really make use of the time information it contains going forward, so Domino will treat a ReplicaID created during File > Database > New, or one that was programatically set to 12345678:ABCDEF12, the Client and Server will treat them similarly.
The only issues that arise are if you inadvertantly try using a replicaID that aligns with either an existing replicaID, or if you come up with one that is reserved for one of the known Domain replicaIDs (such as that of admin4.nsf, events4.nsf, etc....). But, the shear number of possibile replicaIds makes this an EXTREMELY unlikely scenario to even consider.
I will be ok with my script
