About this task

Procedure

To define and start replication:
  1. Initialize the database server.
  2. Create a replication domain by defining replication servers.
  3. Configure replication by defining replicates, and optionally grouping replicates into a replicate set.
    The replicate definition includes information about the participants, replication options, frequency, and conflict-resolution rules and scope.
  4. Specify the data to replicate by defining participants.
    A participant definition specifies the data (database, table, and columns) that should be replicated.
  5. Synchronize the data among the replicates.
