Setting up the SQLHOSTS Registry with ISA
It is strongly recommended that you use HCL® OneDB® Server Administrator (ISA), rather than regedit, to set up the SQLHOSTS registry key and database server group registry key on your Windows™ system. In addition, ISA allows you to administer your replication system from a web browser.
See the online help for ISA for details on setting up the SQLHOSTS registry key and database server group registry key.
