Enterprise Replication Server

An Enterprise Replication server, or replication server, is an Informix database server that participates in data replication. The replication server maintains information about the replication environment, which columns should be replicated, and the conditions under which the data should be replicated. This information is stored in a database, syscdr, that the database server creates when it is initialized. Multiple database servers can be on the same physical computer, and each database server can participate in Enterprise Replication.

Important:
For each server participating in replication, you must set up a database server group in the SQLHOSTS file (UNIX) or registry (Windows). For more information, see Setting up Database Server Groups and Appendix F. SQLHOSTS Registry Key (Windows).

Tip:
This manual uses the convention that the name of a database server group is g_ followed by the name of a database server that is in the group; for example, g_italy.
