You might be able to use db2ldif -r to dump the database along
with the replication meta data, then edit the LDIF file to remove
the bogus data, then ldif2db to reload your database from the LDIF
file.
Thanks. This sounds like what I was after.
For now I just assigned new replica numbers to each server and it
seems to work.
Is there any reason to risk the data in order to drop the old replica
ID's or is it OK to ignore them and just leave them there?
It shouldn't
cause any data loss. You might find annoying messages in
the errors log though.
