and the hub supplier.

b.
On the hub supplier, set up the replication agreement between this server and

the consumer.
When you have configured the replicas on each server, and the necessary
replication agreements between servers, you can initialize the read-only replicas on
the hub supplier, and on the consumer. You can perform this task from the
replication agreement wizard while you are configuring the supplier server and
the hub supplier server, or at any time afterwards.
Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the Hub
Supplier
Perform these steps on the hub supplier that receives replication updates from the

Specify any supplier servers to which you want to refer updates.
By default, all updates are first referred to the supplier servers that you
specify here. If you specify none, updates are referred to the supplier
servers that have a replication agreement that includes the current replica.
In the case of cascading replication, referrals are automatically sent to the
hub supplier, which in turn refers the request to the original master.
Therefore, you should set a referral to the original master to replace the
automatically generated referral.
In the navigation tree on the Configuration tab, right-click the database to
replicate, and select New Replication Agreement.
Alternatively, highlight the database and select New Replication
Agreement from the Object menu. This will start the Replication
Agreement Wizard.
Go through the steps in the replication wizard by clicking Next to move to
the following step.
You can initialize the read-only replicas from the Replication Agreement
Wizard, or at anytime afterwards. For information on initializing read-only
replicas, refer to "Initializing Consumers," on page 307.
