Chapter 12 Working with Replication Server
Typically, creating a subscription causes Replication Server to copy the initial requested data from the primary database to the replicate database. This process is called subscription materialization. Once the subscription is created and materialized, Replication Server begins distributing primary data changes to the replicated data.
When you create a subscription, the destination table is filled in with the source table data in a process called materialization. Replication Server automatically copies data into the destination table. However, for large tables and non Sybase ASE databases, it is recommended to avoid materializing data during the creation of a subscription, because the process may be slow. You could delay it at a less busy moment (during the night for example) and manually materialize the data.
You can use a generation option to enable or disable materialization when creating subscriptions.
