REMOTE permission

Granting REMOTE permission is also referred to as adding a remote user to the database. Publishers of databases directly below the current database in a SQL Remote hierarchy are granted REMOTE permission by the current database.

When granting REMOTE permission to a user, you must configure the following settings:

  • Message system   You cannot create a new remote user until at least one message system is defined in the database.

  • Send frequency   When you use SQL statements to grant REMOTE permission, setting the send frequency is optional

Granting REMOTE permission to a user:

  • Identifies the user as a remote user.

  • Specifies a message type to use for exchanging messages with this remote user.

  • Provides an address to send messages to.

  • Indicates how often messages should be sent to the remote user.

The publisher for a database cannot have REMOTE and CONSOLIDATE permission on the same database. This would identify the publisher as both the sender and recipient of outgoing messages.
