This chapter describes the steps for declaring a database server for Enterprise Replication.

To define a replication server
  1. Initialize the database server.

    For information, see Initializing Database Servers.

  2. Declare the database server to Enterprise Replication.

    For information, see Defining Replication Servers.

    After you define the server for replication, the server is known as a replication server.

  3. Define replicates.

    The replicate definition includes information about the participants, replication options, frequency, and conflict-resolution rules and scope.

    For information, see Defining Replicates.

  4. Define participants.

    A participant definition specifies the data (database, table, and columns) that should be replicated. Although you can define a replicate with fewer, a replicate should contain two or more participants to be useful.

    For information, see Defining Participants.

This chapter also covers the following topics:
