Hi...

Since yesterday I got some replication trouble.

My Scenario

         server A       < -----         server B          <----->        server C            ----->    server D
  (dedicated Consumer)       (multiple Master replica ID:1)    (multiple Master replica ID:2)  (Dedicated Consumer)

The arrows are depicting the replication directions.
In that scenario everything is fine.

But I want to promote server D to a multiple Master replicating from/to server C.

On server D I enabled changelog and changed the Replica Role of userRoot to Multiple Master (now with replica id 3)
I created a replication aggrement to server C.

When enabling that I see these error messages in error log on server D. At 08:51:53 I enabled the replication agreement from server D to server C:

It says that it has the same replica id, but this is not true. I assigned replica ID 3 to server-d and replica ID 2 to server-c

from dse.ldif of server-d:

I already erased and recreated the server-d for a couple of times. Always with the same error.
I created an empty instance of server-d set it to be a dedicated consumer. Created replication
aggrement from server-c to server-d. Initiliazed consumer (server-d). On server-d I enabled
than changelog and changed replication role to multiple master and assigned replica id 3.
I when I create the replication aggreement from server-d to server-c I get this error.

What am I doing wrong? I did the same thing a while ago for server-b and server-c and there
it worked without trouble. (server-b was initially the single master in my net before
the other servers appeared).

Thanks for your help,

Roland
