Configuring Replication Server for RepConnector

Establish the RepConnector connection in Replication Server before configuring RepConnector.

Prerequisites

Configure a Replication Server environment.
Add the primary database to the replication system (including updating the interfaces file that contains the connection information for the database server).
Mark the primary tables and procedures for replication.

If you have not completed these tasks, see the Replication Server Configuration Guide before you proceed.

Task

In the Replication Server interfaces file, add an entry for RepConnector.
Verify that Replication Server is running.
In Replication Server:
- Create a database connection to communicate with RepConnector.
- Create a replication definition to identify the data to be replicated.
- Create a subscription to identify the location to which the data will be replicated.
Resume the database connection.

As you work through the Replication Server configuration sections, use the configuration worksheet to record the values used to configure the RepConnector connection to Replication Server.

Updating the Interfaces File
Add a RepConnector connection entry to the Replication Server interfaces file for each RepConnector connection. The interfaces file contains network information that Replication Server requires to connect to RepConnector.
Adding a RepConnector Entry to the Interfaces File
Create a new entry for the RepConnector connection in the interfaces file, on the machine on which Replication Server is running.
Creating the Connection to RepConnector in Replication Server
Create a new RepConnector connection in the Replication Server, which defines the information that Replication Server uses to connect to the RepConnector server, to replicate data.
Creating the Replication Definition in Replication Server
Create the table replication definition in the Replication Server. A replication definition describes the data that can be replicated for a table or stored procedure defined in the primary database. RepConnector supports replication of DML commands and stored procedures.
Creating a Function Replication Definition
Create a function replication definition.
Creating and Verifying the Subscription in Replication Server
Create a subscription and verify that it is valid both at the primary table and at the RepConnector connection in the Replication Server.
Resuming the Connection to RepConnector
To ensure that Replication Server replicates commands to RepConnector, resume the connection from Replication Server to RepConnector.
