Materialization is a process of creating and activating subscriptions and copying data from the primary database to the replicate database, thereby initializing the replicate database. Before you can replicate data from a primary database, you must set up and populate each replicate database so that it is in a state consistent with that of the primary database.
There are two types of subscription materialization supported by the Sybase Replication Server:
Bulk materialization – the process of manually creating and activating a subscription and populating a replicate database using data unload and load utilities outside the control of the replication system.
Atomic materialization – the process of creating a subscription and populating a replicate database using Replication Server commands.
Sybase Replication Agent does not support atomic materialization.
See the Replication Server Administration Guide for more information on subscription materialization methods.
