Replication object properties

Chapter 11 Managing Object Replications

Replication object properties

As a replication object has no symbol in the interface, you open its property sheet from the List of Replications dialog box.

You must:

Select Model→Replications to open the list of replications
Double-click a replication in the list to open its property sheet

The definition of a replication object includes the following general properties:

Property	Description
Original Object Model	Model of the original object. The Properties button lets you open the property sheet of the model containing the original object
Original Object Full Name	Full path describing the location of the original object. The Properties button lets you open the property sheet of the original object
Original Object Type	Type of the original object
Original Object Status	State of the original object model which can be Closed or Opened or state of the original object which can be Not Found
Replica Object Full Name	Full path describing the location of the replica object. The Properties button lets you open the property sheet of the replica object
Generate	Replication is automatically included among the objects generated from the model when you launch the inter-model generation process. For more information, see the "Generating replications" section.

Models with the same name
The List of Target Models shows models containing shortcuts or replicas in the current session. It also allows you to get a model full name to distinguish from another.
For more information on how to use the List of the Target Model, see "Using the list of target models" in the "Managing shortcuts" chapter.

A replication definition also includes the following properties:

Property	Description
Attributes	List of replicated attributes
Collections	List of replicated collections
Sub-Replications	List of replicated sub-objects (for example a column of a replicated table)

Opening the replication property sheet from the replica property sheet
You can also access the property sheet of a replication by clicking the Version Info tab in the replica property sheet and clicking the Replication Properties button in the Replicated From groupbox.

Not Found status

An original object can indicate a Not Found status in the replication property sheet when the model containing the replication object is opened but the original object cannot be found for the following reasons:

Original object was deleted
Original object was duplicated in another package, then deleted in the original package
Original object model was saved under a new name

In such cases, you must delete the replication.

For more information on how to delete a replication, see the "Deleting a replication" section.
