Capacity Planning

Plan the CPU, memory, disk, and network resources for your replication system.

• Replication Server Requirements
  Replication Sever requirements.
• Replication Server Requirements for Primary Databases
  Specifies the Replication Server requirements for the primary database.
• Replication Server Requirements for Replicate Databases
  Specifies the Replication Server requirements for the replicate database.
• Replication Server Requirement for Routes
  Specifies the Replication Server requirements for routes.
• Data Volume (Queue Disk Space Requirements)
  The most significant components in estimating the amount of resources required by the replication system are the volume of the data being replicated and the rate at which it is being updated.
• Message Sizes
  A Replication Server distributes database modifications using messages in ASCII format. Most replication system messages correspond to the delete, insert, update, and function execution operations.
• Other Disk Space Requirements
  Details the space requirements for Replication Servers, Replication Agents, and data servers in a replication system.
• Memory Usage
  Replication Servers are separate processes in the replication system. RepAgent is an Adaptive Server thread.
• CPU Usage
  Replication Server runs on multiprocessor or single-processor platforms. The Replication Server multithreaded architecture supports both hardware configurations.
• Network Requirements
  Specifies the network requirements for Replication Server.
