There are several prerequisites to meet when you implement applied or request functions.
Understand how you will use applied or request functions to meet your application needs. Refer to the Replication Server Design Guide for more information.
Set up a RepAgent at the primary Replication Server by following the procedures involved in managing a replication system and the configuration procedures in the Replication Server Configuration Guide.
Set up routes from the primary Replication Server to the replicate Replication Server.
Replicated functions can be used with applications that involve fragmented primary data. To do this, create a function replication definition and a stored procedure for each primary fragment. Refer to the Replication Server Design Guide for more information about working with fragmented primary data.
In general, the information on replicated functions that is discussed, is based on the Replication Server basic primary copy model, where a single source database distributes data to one or more destination databases.
