Chapter 3 Building Information Liquidity Diagrams


Replication process properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a replication process property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Replication Processes folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for replication processes.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property Description
Name Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.
Code Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts.
Comment Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
Stereotype Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can enter stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition.
Server Specifies the name of the server on which the replication process is deployed. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object. For more information see Servers (ILM).
Type Specifies the type of the replication process depending on the extended model definition (XEM) attached to your model. The type influences the generation and the display of additional information within specific tabs and in tabs displaying extended attributes. Click the Preview tab to see the generated code. You can choose one of the following values:

  • Undefined – Specifies a replication server with no type.
  • MobiLink – Specifies data replication between a central database and a large number of remote databases. For more information about the MobiLink replication process, see the Working with MobiLink chapter.
  • Replication Server – Specifies near-real-time replication between a relatively small number of databases. For more information about the Replication Server, see the Working with Replication Server chapter.

Replication server type

The following replication server types are available. The replication server symbol changes according to the selected type:
