Hello Robin, 10.2.x is still pretty new, even though it has been out a whole year now. With most busy organizations, uptake on a new release can be pretty slow, so I doubt many folks have it going in a production environment.
When I worked for the U2 group, I did quite a bit of testing with replication. It is ideal for what you propose to use it for. In 10.2, the services changed to improve overall replication performance and recoverability after a network outage. If you've never set it up before, there are some things to consider first. For example, how reliable are the file pointers? Can everyone of the file pointers be opened? Are they referencing files that live in other file systems and not where the account itself exists? Replication expects that the files not be UV/NET files and will skip them when you start looking for files within accounts to publish. Like transaction logging, replication ships with TCL verbs to greatly speed up the selection, publish, and subscribe process when there are many files per account to be replicated. They are documented in the UV 10.2 documentation set. I made improvements to two of those programs-- just ping me off-line if you'd like the updated programs. I intend to deploy replication across my Linux servers, with transaction logging running on each server as well. I am confident with 10.2's ability to handle them both quite well in the scenario I chose to deploy them. I believe I can tell you quite a bit more about the process if you want to write me off-line.

The subscriber will be used for reporting purposes to reduce the load on the publishing server. Most of the reporting is done via UVODBC. Has anyone had experience of installing Universe Replication in a Windows 2003 server environment? How stable is it? What problems have you encountered along the way? Any help/tips/advice would be much appreciated.
