Chapter 10 Working with Replication Server
This chapter describes the specifics of PowerDesigner's support for modeling the Replication Server version 12.5, 12.6 and 15.0 replication engines. PowerDesigner provides full support for modeling all aspects of the Replication Server supported versions, including round-trip engineering. Replication Server objects properties are modeled as extended attributes.This chapter should be read in conjunction with the engine-neutral "Working with Information Liquidity Models" chapter in this book.
Replication Server is a relational database replication system between a source database and one or more remote databases
The following example illustrates how PowerDesigner represents a global replication process with Replication Server in an Information Liquidity Model diagram:
The source and remote databases are modeled in Physical Data Models (PDMs), and attached to the database symbols, and the replication is represented as a Replication Server replication process.
The source database is the location where resides the data, which the replication process can replicate in:
The following example illustrates how you can combine Replication Server and MobiLink (see the Working with MobiLink chapter) technologies within a global data replication and synchronization to replicate data from one site to another, and then from a consolidated database to a mobile device:
