This section describes how to bulk materialize data using the nonatomic materialization method.
The nonatomic bulk materialization method allows a period of flux at the replicate site during which the replicate data may be inconsistent with the primary data. By the time you validate the subscription data, however, the data should be consistent.
You must use the Replication Server set autocorrection on command during nonatomic bulk materialization so that inconsistencies resulting from continuing updates in the primary database can be resolved without errors.
Autocorrection determines how Replication Server processes inserts and updates to copies of replicated tables. When autocorrection is on, Replication Server converts each update or insert operation into a delete followed by an insert.
Verify the following:
The data source exists and contains data.
The replicate table exists and contains the appropriate columns.
You successfully configured every Replication Server in your replication system. See “Task 1: Configuring Replication Server” for details.
