Setting up a consolidated database

This section of the tutorial describes how to prepare the consolidated database of a simple replication system.

Preparing a consolidated database for replication involves the following steps:

1.Create a message type to use for replication.

2.Grant PUBLISH permissions to a user ID to identify the source of outgoing messages.

3.Grant REMOTE permissions to all user IDs that are to receive messages.

4.Create a publication describing the data to be replicated.

5.Create subscriptions describing who is to receive the publication.

You require DBA authority to carry out these tasks.

Add a SQL Remote message type

All messages sent as part of replication use a message type. A message type description has two parts:

A message link supported by SQL Remote. In this tutorial, we use the FILE link.

An address for this message link, to identify the source of outgoing messages.

Adaptive Server Anywhere databases already have message types created, but you need to supply an address for the message type you will use.
