AdministeringIn addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.
Enterprise ReplicationThe HCL OneDB™ Enterprise Replication Guide describes the concepts of data replication using HCL® OneDB® Enterprise Replication, including how to design your replication system, as well as administer and manage data replication throughout your enterprise.
Setting up and managing Enterprise ReplicationAfter you design your replication system, you define it and start replication.
Defining Replication Servers, Replicates, Participants, and Replicate SetsThese topics describe the steps defining and starting Enterprise Replication.
Define a replicateTo define a replicate, use the cdr define replicate command.
Replicate typesYou can choose a replicate type depending on whether you want the schema definitions on all participants to be the same. A master replicate enforces consistency between the schema definitions of the participants and the schema definition on a designated server. A classic replicate does not check the schema definitions of the participants.
Creating Empty Master Replicates

Creating Empty Master Replicates

About this task

You can create an empty master replicate by using the --empty option. This option allows you to specify a participant as the basis of the master replicate but not include that participant in the replicate. Creating an empty replicate can be convenient in large environments in which you later add all participants using scripts.

When you define an empty master replicate, you must specify only one participant in the cdr define replicate command. This participant is used to create the master dictionary information but is not added to the replicate.

The --empty option is only supported for master replicates, you cannot use it without the --master option.
