Creating a Replication Agreement

This section explains how to create a replication agreement. You must create a
replication agreement on the supplier server for each read-write replica that is
supplied to a consumer server or a hub supplier.
Before you can create a replication agreement, you must have:
• Configured supplier settings on the server as described in "Configuring
Supplier Settings," on page 315.
• Configured replication settings for suppliers as described in "Configuring a
Read-Write Replica," on page 315.
