Replica conflict resolution help

[Issured]

Hi there,

I am trying to find out which is my Master and which is my Replica when it comes to merging replicas.  When I go into the Conflict Resolution Table I am presented with 2 columns:
- Current Value
- Conflict Value

Can anyone help me with which column is my master and which is my replica?  i.e. if I choose to overwrite the Current Value with the Conflict Value am I overwriting the master value with the replica value, or the other way round?!

Many thanks in advance...

AFAIK, for merging replicas, EA uses the MS Access feature in the backend, and I'm afraid we have very little control on it. May be I'm wrong, but I've always recommended users to stay away from this, and just use the Diff / Merge, which albeit being a little more laborious, gives us control

I thought this advice would be like carrying owls to Athens (German proverb). I have to join Nizam's advice: do NOT use this feature. Only trust it as far as you can throw it. Think of other ways to achieve what you thought replication could do for you.

The patron god of Athens is Athena, and Athena's sacred animal is an owl.

LOL thanks. I actually looked up the proverb after posting and it appears that low denomination silver coins in ancient Athens had a picture of an owl on one side. Carrying silver coins to Athens, where they were in plentiful supply, would be redundant and not worth the effort. It would be like carrying... *looks at Australian 5 cent coin* ... echidnas to Australia.

Or "Coals to Newcastle" - which is true for both the UK and Australian cities...

Oh, and even in these days of gender neutrality, Athena was a Goddess, not a God.

Or maybe Diesel Volkswagen to Wolfsburg.

True but the operative word was patron and she wasn't above disguising herself as a man.
