Jamal,

By right-clicking an individual replica, you bring up a context menu with the following options:

Rename???Renames the replica; type a new name and press ENTER.
Unregister???Unregisters the replica; if a synchronization version exists, it will also be removed.
View log???Opens the Replica Log; this option is only available for one-way and two-way replicas. The Replica Log is discussed in more detail below.
Refresh???Refreshes the replica; the latest state of the replica properties are displayed.
Validate schema???Validates the replica schema; a progress bar monitors the status of the validation. This automatically corrects a replica that contains invalid datasets. Datasets can become invalid if they have been renamed, deleted, or unversioned.
Properties???Opens the Replica Properties dialog box. Replica properties are discussed in more detail below.

Regards

Anthony

Very much appreciated Anthony for the reply.

This means that the �??unregister�?� option is the one used to �??delete�?� replica from the database. Is that correct?

When you unregister a replica, be sure to do it on both ends; you need to 'cut the cord' between parent and child on the parent end and the local/ child end as well.

Many thanks Joe. Good to know this point.

If you perform the unregister on the replica as the replica owner (user) it works cleanly. If you do this as any other user (even as SDE) it may not get deleted entirely, requiring the use of SDE command line to delete sync send versions. That's been my experience at least...

Can you please elaborate on the sde command line that was used to delete the snyc send versions. I deleted a replica without unregistering it first and now have a ghost version that I can not get rid of. Thanks!

This poses somewhat of a problem. If an ArcGIS Server administrator is using a Geodata Service to accept data updates from users, the client controls when they make (register) the replica and if/when they choose to unregister it. As the data administrator, one can very quickly end up with many replicas and not know which ones are being used, and/or which ones have been unregistered client-side.

For the near-term its probably best to have pretty tight permissions on the ArcGIS Server as to who can access your GeoData services.

Excellent point and and I hope your ideas submission gets some careful consideration. Seems to me that it should/could be handled like a composite relationship where as you can't have a child without a parent or a parent without child...
