Data Connection Groups (DMM)

A data connection group allows you to specify a set of data connections, in which one active database is supported by any number of backups. In case the active database fails for any reason, RepServer can switch to a backup database, and resume operations.

In the following example, if the Boston database fails, the Boston Backup resumes operations:

• Creating a Data Connection Group
  You can create a data connection group from the Connection Groups tab of a replication process property sheet.
• Data Connection Group Properties
  To view or edit a data connection group's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.
• Replication Server Logical Connection Properties
  Replication Server logical connection property sheets contain all the standard data connection groups tabs along with the Connection Options tab.
