Specifying a "bootstrap" configuration

If you are using non-transactional replication, you must specify at least one "bootstrap" configuration on the Replication tab of the Service Configuration Manager utility, on the application server.

When specifying a "bootstrap" configuration, provide these specifications:

  • In the Replicator/Inbound Bus Configurations field, list all of the configurations that can receive inbound messages from other sites and/or send outbound messages to other sites on the intranet. The Replication Document Outbox form at each site collects BODs that are to be sent to other sites for processing. The Replication Document Inbox form at each site collects BODs that are received from other sites and holds them for processing.
  • In the ReplQListener Queue Servers field, set up a queue server name for every intranet in your system.

    Generally, the queue server name is set to localhost\private$, which uses the standard private message queues named "inbound" and "outbound" on the application server.

    However, if you have specified a Queue Server Name on the Intranets form, that name is used to build a path. For example, appServer3\private$\MyQueues results in the use of the queue names "MyQueues_inbound" and "MyQueues_outbound".

Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version and you already have replication set up through a “bootstrap” configuration, it will still work as it did in the previous version. The Replicator/Inbound Bus Configurations field contains one site designated as the "Master Site", and the ReplQListener Queue Servers field has the Default field selected.
