Thanks Jens, much appreciate it. I agree with your concern about the bad
user experience but as you noticed there is a mandatory need to sync a
subset first and then continue. Without that there is a risk of creating a
conflict in the logic.
I will try your suggestion regarding the non-continious replication however
I still find the replication states confusing. Why would the real status
show IDLE even though no replication has been completed? Furthermore the
lastError throws an error initially ("server could not be contacted") but
subsequent notifications show lastError=nil.
