We use it on Universe on Windows and it works very well. Sync can be very slow though. I expect it's all different in UD though

And so far, I've heard no one say 'we ARE using Replication on Windows'...

One of the main reasons, is that you can not be certain that the system is actually replicating. You should note that "ud_repadmin -report" only reports from local shared memory , it does NOT enquire of the remote servers status, so only reports on the local systems replication status. The only way to get a remote status is by doing a 'sync' and seeing if it works. Replication is obviously an important product for IBM and they have been working with us to get reproducable cases. They are now looking at what can be done to improve the system.

I'm on Windows, UD 6.0.12 on both sides of the Replication. I've got a site that is driving me MAD - Replication suddenly halted running two months ago after running for 4 months without issue. I've stood on my head trying to get things back and up and running... I've got IBM assisting, but is there anything that anyone ran across along the way that was a gotcha? In my case, the Repmanager.exe will just die on the publisher. Not every 'group' is coming up, and I am scratching my head as to why. IBM is sort of at the same place, as there appears not to be anything 'obvious', other than I'm trying to replicate an account's worth of files (hundreds), but it did (appear) to work for months before just stopping. (It's an end-user site, so I don't think they have the skill or desire to change anything -- at this point, I've changed just about EVERYTHING trying to find why it's not running!) Any thoughts would be good - and knowing if it's 'just me' -- if it is, then I've got more incentive to keep digging on my side - however, if no one has a production level install running, or have issues keeping it running, then maybe I need more IBM assist!! I read somewhere that there was an issue 'knowing' it was running - that was our case - I only know when it stopped based on modification dates in Windows! The end user was blissfully unaware....
