-
Log in to the site that you want to make the master site where
the shared tables will exist for the intranet.
-
On the Intranets form, select this
site's intranet. In the Master Site
field, select this site to specify it as the master site for the intranet.
-
On the Intranet Shared Tables form,
select this site's intranet.
A list of the _all tables that can be shared displays. (Not every _all
table is listed; some are not available for sharing.)
-
For tables that you want to be shared between all sites on the
intranet, select Shared.
Another way to choose the shared tables is to select the replication
categories that you want to share. When you select a Replication
Category from the drop-down list and click Select
by Category, the system marks all tables in that category as
Shared.
-
When you have selected all the tables you want to share, select .
-
Click Process to copy information from
the tables at the other sites to the master site's table, delete the
table from the other sites and regenerate the replication triggers
for the other sites. If you have selected several tables and have
many sites on this intranet, processing may take a while. The Processing
Step area displays the system's progress.
Note: During processing, the selected tables are removed from all sites on
the intranet except the master site. Unsharing (rebuilding the tables at the using
sites) is time-consuming; be very sure that you have everything set the way you want it
before clicking the Process
button.
