Configuring Single-Master Replication

NOTE
Set the replication schedule.
6.
By default, the servers are always kept in sync. If, for example, the connection
is slow or the information being replicated doesn't change frequently, you can
set a different schedule for replication, such as Monday between 12:00 p.m.
and 3:00 p.m.
Select when to initialize the consumer.
7.
The default is to create an initialization file; you may also choose to initialize
the consumer as soon as you finish the replication agreement or not to
initialize it at all. See "Initializing Consumers," on page 345, for more
information on methods and circumstances for consumer initialization.
The last screen is a summary of your replication agreement. Check that this is

accurate, and hit "Done."
When you have finished, an icon representing the replication agreement is
displayed under the database icon. This replication agreement icon indicates
that your replication agreement is set up.

The consumer of this replication agreement must be a dedicated
consumer for fractional replication to work as a safeguard against
potential data integrity problems. This is not enforced at the time
you make the replication agreement, but replication will fail if your
consumer is not a read-only replica. See "Replication Overview,"
on page 302, for more information on read-only replicas and
dedicated consumers.
Once you create a replication agreement, you cannot change the
connection type (SSL or non-SSL) defined in the agreement; this is
because LDAP and LDAPS connections use different ports. To
change the connection type, you should re-create the replication
agreement.
