Setting up the Replication Agreements

NOTE

There can be multiple supplier bind DNs per consumer but only one supplier DN per replication agreement.

g.Specify the URL for any supplier servers to which to refer updates.

By default, all updates are first referred to the supplier servers that are specified here. If no suppliers are set here, updates are referred to the supplier servers that have a replication agreement that includes the current replica.

Automatic referrals assume that clients bind over a regular connection; this has a URL in the form ldap://hostname:port. For clients to bind to the supplier using SSL, use this field to specify a referral of the form ldaps://hostname:port, where the s in ldaps indicates a secure connection.

5.Click Save.

When all the hubs are configured, then configure the supplier replica.

6.4. Setting up the Replication Agreements

Cascading replication requires two sets of replication agreements, the first between the supplier and the hub and the second between the hub and the consumer. To set up the replication agreements, do the following:

1.Create the replication agreement on the supplier for the hub, then use the supplier server to initialize the replica on the hub server.

2.Then create the replication agreement on the hub for each consumer, and initialize the consumer replicas from the hub.

To set up a replication agreement, do the following:

1.In the navigation tree of the Configuration tab, right-click the database to replicate, and select New Replication Agreement.

Alternatively, highlight the database, and select New Replication Agreement from the Object menu to start the Replication Agreement Wizard.

2.In the first screen, fill in a name and description for the replication agreement, and hit Next.

3.In the Source and Destination screen, fill in the URL for the consumer and the supplier bind
