Setting up replication to sites in other intranets

If there are other intranets with sites that want to replicate (not share) _all table data to/from sites 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 example below.)
  • 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

This flow chart describes four sites on two intranets:



  • If CAL needs visibility into BC's item data, replication rules for a category containing the item_mst_all table should be set up from BC to ILL.
  • If BC needs visibility into CAL's item data, replication rules for a category containing the item_mst_all table should be set up from ILL to BC.
  • If BC and CAL interact in other ways, you must have additional replication rules between CAL and BC, since additional tables and stored procedures are needed to perform these functions.

    For example, if you have 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 in a shared table, replication rules for a category containing the customer_mst_all table should be set up from CAL to ONT.
