Default ID Number Ranges and ID Number Allocation for ID Server Domains

An ID Server assigns ID numbers sequentially. Separate ranges of values are maintained for databases and Replication Servers.

Database and Replication Server Default ID Number Ranges
Object Type Minimum ID Number Maximum ID Number
Database 101 16777215
Replication Server 16777317 33554431

Minimum values for each ID Server must be within the ranges specified. For example, if your organization has three separate ID Server domains, you can set the minimum ID numbers as shown in "Example ID Number Allocation for ID Server Domains."

Example ID Number Allocation for ID Server Domains
ID Server Domain Starting Database ID Starting Replication Server ID
Finance division 101 16777317
Manufacturing division 100101 16877317
Sales division 200101 16977317

This arrangement provides the ID Server in each domain at least 100,000 ID numbers for databases and 100,000 ID numbers for Replication Servers. You need not set a maximum value, since it is unlikely that you will install more than 100,000 Replication Servers or add more than 100,000 databases to a replication system.

See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 > Manage a Replication System, for more information about adding replication system domains.
