Configurations
If you are configuring replication for a large number of servers, and your
configuration is relatively complex, for reasons of efficiency you should proceed in
the following order:
1.
On all consumer servers:
❍
Create the replica databases
❍
Create the Replication Manager or supplier bind DN entry
❍
Specify the replica settings for a read-only replica
2.
On all hub suppliers:
❍
Create the replica databases
❍
Create the Replication Manager or supplier DN entry
❍
Specify the supplier settings for replication (includes change log
configuration)
❍
Specify the replica settings for a read-write replica
3.
On all suppliers:
❍
Create the replica databases
❍
Specify the supplier settings for replication (includes change log
configuration)
❍
Specify the replica settings for a read-write replica
4.
Configure replication agreements on all suppliers:
❍
Between suppliers in a multi-master set
❍
Between suppliers and dedicated consumers
❍
Between suppliers and hub suppliers
Optionally, you can initialize the replicas on the consumer servers at this stage.
