Replication Process Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a replication process property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Replication Processes folder.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.
Code	Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts.
Comment	Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.
Server	Specifies the name of the server to which the replication process is deployed(see Servers (DMM)). Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected server.
Type	Specifies the replication process type. You can choose between: Undefined – to model any standard replication engine. MobiLink – to model data replication between a consolidated database and a large number of remote databases (see Working with MobiLink). Replication Server – to model data replication from one or more primary databases to one or more remote databases (see Working with Replication Server). The type controls the display of additional information and tabs. Types are defined in the extensions (XEM) attached to the model. Click the Preview tab to view the generated code according to the type you selected.

The following tabs are also available:

Publications - lists the publications the replication process has to replicate (see Publications (DMM)).
Subscriptions - lists the subscriptions to the publications associated with the replication process (see Subscriptions (DMM)).
Users - lists the users who have appropriate rights to log onto the replication process (see Users (DMM)).
Connection Groups - lists a set of data connections that can alternatively play the role of the backup database to which the replication process will replicate data (see Data Connection Groups (DMM)).
Event Scripts - lists the event scripts associated with the replication process (see Event Scripts (DMM)).
Database Connection - lets you specify the data source connection parameters to send orders to the replication process (see Database Property Sheet Database Connection Tab).
