Desynchronizing Replica Properties

By default, replicas have read-only property sheets appropriate to their object type. To desynchronize one or more properties and make them editable, select the Version Info tab, click the Replication Properties button to open the replication property sheet, select the Attributes or Collections tab, and deselect the properties that you want to override in the replica.

Note: To break the replica's link to its target and turn it into an independent object, click the Delete Replication button. To make multiple replicas into independent objects, select Model > Replications to open the List of Replications, and delete the relevant replications.

The General tab of the replication property sheet contains the following properties:
