Replication Process Properties

To view or edit a replication process's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name/Code/Comment	Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.
Type	Specifies the replication process type. You can choose between: Undefined – to model any standard replication engine. Replication Server – to model data replication from one or more primary databases to one or more remote databases (see Working with Replication Server). The type controls the display of additional information and tabs. Types are defined in the extensions (XEM) attached to the model. Click the Preview tab to view the generated code according to the type you selected.
Server	Specifies the name of the server to which the replication process is deployed(see Servers (DMM)). Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected server.
Keywords	Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

The following tabs are also available:

Publications - lists the publications the replication process has to replicate (see Publications (DMM)).
Subscriptions - lists the subscriptions to the publications associated with the replication process (see Subscriptions (DMM)).
Users - lists the users who have appropriate rights to log onto the replication process (see Users (DMM)).
Connection Groups - lists a set of data connections that can alternatively play the role of the backup database to which the replication process will replicate data (see Data Connection Groups (DMM)).
Event Scripts - lists the event scripts associated with the replication process (see Event Scripts (DMM)).
Database Connection - lets you specify the data source connection parameters to send orders to the replication process (see Database Property Sheet Database Connection Tab).
