Creating a Logical Connection

Use the the Add Logical Connection wizard to add a logical connection. You can use the wizard whether or not you are basing the logical connection on an existing physical connection.

1. In the tree view, select the Logical Connection folder under the Replication Server object.
2. In the Details view, double-click Add Logical Connection.
   The Add Logical Connection wizard starts.
3. On the Convert Existing Connection wizard page, verify that the Use an Existing Connection as the Active Connection option is not selected.
4. Enter the database name and data server name for the logical connection.
5. Review the summary information for the logical connection.
6. If everything looks correct, click Finish. Otherwise, click Back to return to an earlier page in the wizard and change the logical connection information.

You must create the connections to the active and standby databases before you can have a working warm standby environment.
