Setting up replication to sites in other intranets

You can, if you wish, set up sites in which you want to replication, not share _all table data in the sharing intranet.
  • For tables that are shared, set up replication categories/rules between the master site and the sites on the other intranets. (You probably will also need to set up the same categories/rules between the specific shared site and the sites on other intranets; see the following example.)
  • For tables that are not shared, set up replication categories/rules between any/all of the sites in the shared intranet and the sites on the other intranets.

Example

Consider the setup shown here.

  • If CAL needs visibility into BC's item data, replication rules for a category containing item_mst_all should be set up from BC to ILL.
  • If BC needs visibility into CAL's item data, replication rules for a category containing item_mst_all should be set up from ILL to BC.
  • If BC and CAL interact in other ways, for example order entry of an item in BC and shipment of the item from CAL, you still need centralized order entry replication rules between CAL and BC, since additional tables and stored procedures in that category are needed to perform these functions. The item_mst_all table, although it exists in the category, will not be replicated from CAL to BC.
  • If ONT needs visibility into CAL's customer data (which is not a shared table), replication rules for a category containing customer_mst_all should be set up from CAL to ONT.
