Primary uses of replication
Mongoose uses replication as the base process
for a number of different operations, including Data Lake data transfers, sending/receiving
data using XML-formatted documents such as BODs (Business Object Documents), and synchronizing
sites in a multi-site environment.
Replication, the duplication of data from a source to a target destination, is the basis of these features and operations:
- Data Lake storage of data: Replication is used to push data out to the Data Lake and to retrieve data from the Data Lake.
- Integration with external applications: Replication is used to transfer data between Mongoose and external applications, using BODs or other XML-formatted documents for data exchanges and transmission.
- Multi-site setups: Replication is the mechanism used to keep multiple sites synchronized with each other.
