Default replication categories
The default replication categories included in SyteLine are listed in the table below. More information about when to use each category is included in this section. See Replication category tables for details about the stored procedures and tables that are included in each category.
If you choose to create new categories or modify existing ones, we strongly recommend that you get help from Infor Consulting Services. Determining all the relationships between tables and stored procedures is not a simple task. For example, the Centralized Order Entry category includes more than 90 tables and methods.
Some tables and objects exist in multiple categories; however, if you replicate these multiple categories to a site, only one set of table records is sent to the site.
