Siemens V4.0 manual Replication partner type Description

Implementing WINS Using WINS Manager

The following table describes the pull and push partner types of replication partners.

Replication partner type	Description
Pull partner	A pull partner is a WINS server that pulls (requests) WINS
	database entries from its push partners. The pull partner pulls
	new WINS database entries by requesting entries with a
	higher version number than the last entry it received during
	the last replication from that push partner.
	A pull partner can notify push partners that replication is
	needed by using either of the following methods: an arbitrary
	time interval, as configured by the WINS administrator, or
	immediate replication, initiated by the WINS administrator
	using WINS Manager.
Push partner	A push partner is a WINS server that sends a message to its
	pull partners that the WINS database has changed. When the
	pull partners respond to the message with a replication
	request, the push partner sends a copy of its new WINS
	database entries to the pull partners.
	The push partner notifies pull partners of replication require-
	ments by using either of the following methods: an arbitrary
	number of WINS updates (update count), as configured by
	the WINS administrator, or immediate replication initiated by
	the WINS administrator by using WINS Manager.
	If you modify the update count using WINS Manager, you
	then can open the WINS Server Configuration dialog box
	and check the OK button. As a result, the new value will take
	effect immediately.
