Guidelines for Adding Replication System Domains

You must observe certain guidelines before you create multiple ID Servers for multiple replication system domains.

Make sure all Replication Server and data server names are globally unique across domains.

By using unique names, you simplify your administration and prevent confusion, especially in the interfaces files, which contain network access information for servers.
You need to assign the ID number each time a Replication Server or database is added to the replication system.
Maintain unique names and distinct ID numbers to accommodate the future possibility of data transfer between domains (that is, merging of domains).
- Provide a different range of database and Replication Server ID numbers for each domain.
- Make sure the ID numbers of any additional domains are large enough so that they do not overlap with the ranges of the first domain.
Make sure that replication definition names are globally unique within and between ID Server domains.
