You can use one or more of the following constants in the options argument.

Constant Description
dbRepMakePartial Creates a partial replica.
dbRepMakeReadOnly Prevents users from modifying the replicable objects of the new replica; however, when you synchronize the new replica with another member of the replica set, design and data changes will be propagated to the new replica.
