Chapter 6 Generating and Reverse Engineering Replication Objects

Generating Replication Objects

The generation process allows you to generate for an extended model definition (XEM) in an ILM.

There are several ways to generate a target in an ILM:

For several targets at the same time, using the Tools→Extended Generation command
For a specific target only, using one of the following commands:
Tools→Replication Server 12.5→Generate Scripts
Tools→Replication Server 12.6→Generate Scripts
Tools→MobiLink 9.0→Generate Scripts

To generate for several targets:

Select Tools→Extended Generation.

The Generation dialog box opens to the Targets page.

Select or browse to a directory that will contain the generated files (.SQL)

Select the extended model definition that you want to use for generation.

Click Apply if you want to generate at a later time.

or

Click OK to generate.

To generate for a specific target:

Select Tools→Specific target→Generate Scripts.

The Generation dialog box opens to the Selection page.

Select or browse to a directory that will contain the generated files (.SQL).

Click OK to generate

The Generation dialog box contains the following pages. Note that extended generations for a specific XEM, do not display the Targets page in the Generation dialog box:
