In the Common Settings section, specify a purge delay in the "Purge
delay" field.
This option indicates how often the state information stored in the
replicated entries is purged.
In the Update Settings section, specify the bind DN that the supplier will
use to bind to the replica.
This supplier bind DN should correspond to the entry created in Step 2.
Note that the supplier bind DN corresponds to a privileged user, because it
is not subject to access control.
You can specify multiple supplier bind DNs per replica but only one
supplier DN per replication agreement. To specify your supplier bind DN,
enter your supplier bind DN in the "Enter a new Supplier DN" field and
click Add. You supplier bind DN will appear in the Current Supplier DNs
list. Repeat the operation for every supplier bind DN you want to include
in the list.
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 of the Configuration tab, right-click the database to
replicate and then 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 326.
