Chapter 12 Working with Replication Server


Understanding the publication type

In Replication Server, a publication lets you collect replication definitions for related tables and stored procedures and then subscribe to them as a group. In PowerDesigner, you create a publication from the replication process property sheet.

The value of the publication type depends on the replication process type. Besides, each publication type influences the generated code for Replication Server.

The following types are available:

Replication process type Publication type
Undefined No type
Replication Server Undefined

Publication

Database

Replication Definitions

Depending on the publication type, the following mapping applies:

PowerDesigner Publication
type
Replication Server object mapping
Undefined
Publication
Each publication becomes a publication

Each article becomes an article

A replication definition is created for each article

The validation of the publication is also generated
Replication Definitions A replication definition is created for each article
Database A database replication is created, but limited to the tables listed in articles

Note: The name of the tab in the publication property sheet changes according to its type.
