Design Element Replication Conflicts
As promised, here is the second thing I learned from the Taking Notes Podcast 43 "Interview with Ytria".
I always thought that when a design element in a Notes database is modified on two servers at the same time the one with the most recent time stamp "wins" when the database is replicated the next time. IBM says so in the Technote "What happens when changes are made to a design element in two replicas of a Notes database?".
In the interview Eric Houvenaghel stated that actually the design element with the higher sequence number will be the winner. I tested this on our development servers and it is actually true. The technote seems to be wrong.
Thus developers often hitting CTRL-S are less likely to lose the modifications they made if design replication conflicts should happen.
