Data dissemination supports business needs where data is
updated in a central location and then replicated to servers that only
receive data and do not update data.
This method of distribution can be useful for online transaction
processing (OLTP) systems where data is required at several sites,
but because of the large amounts of data, read/write capabilities
at all sites would slow the performance of the application. The following
figure illustrates data dissemination. Figure 1: Data Dissemination in a
Primary-Target Replication System
You specify that a server only receives information when you define
the participant for the server as part of the replicate definition.
You can specify that all replicates on a server only receive information
when you modify the server definition.
