NOTE
When you have configured the servers holding the read-write replicas, the
necessary replication agreements, and the servers holding the read-only replicas,
you are ready to initialize replication. You can perform this task when you create
the replication agreements on the supplier servers, or at any time afterwards.
Initializing the Replicas for Multi-Master
Replication
In the case of multi-master replication, you should initialize replicas in the
following order:
Ensure one master has the complete set of data to replicate. Use this master to
1.
initialize the replica on the other master in the multi-master replication set.
Initialize the replicas on the consumer servers from any one of the two masters.
2.
For information on initializing replicas, refer to "Initializing Consumers," on page
309.
Configuring Cascading Replication
This section provides information on setting up cascading replication. The steps
described in this section provide a high-level overview of the procedures you need
to follow and cross references to the detailed task descriptions are provided at each
step.
One with supplier Server A, where A is declared as a consumer for the
replica. During this operation, do not initialize Server A from Server B if
you have already initialized Server B from Server A in Step 4.
One for each consumer, Server C and Server D.
Once you have completed these procedures, Server A and Server B
have mutual replication agreements, which means that they can
accept updates from each other.
