About Replication

In SyteLine, each site's database does not have to be connected to any other database in order to function. Data is transferred through a process called replication. The system manages its own replication, which is different from SQL’s replication. We do not support standard SQL replication as a means to transfer data from one site to another.

The connection between sites can be either of these:

  • Transactional: This is a constant live connection from one site to another. Any update is made to the target site immediately. The down side is that if the target site is down for any reason, the transfer of data does not occur.
  • Non-transactional: There is no live connection between sites. If using a non-transactional (also referred to as delayed replication or asynchronous replication) setup, data that is shared must be replicated.
