Copying replication sets

Use this procedure to create a new replication set by copying an existing one. You can find it useful, for example, to copy one of the delivered replication sets and then modify it to better match your business needs. A copied replication set uses the same business classes, related replicates, and replication set business class fields as the replication set it is copied from.

  1. In the Administration Console, select Replication.
  2. In the Replication Sets pane, click the Search tab, and search for and select the replication set to copy.
  3. Click the Ellipsis button and select Copy.
  4. On the Copy Replication Set form, specify this information:
    New Replication Set
    Specify a name for the replication set to be created by copying.
    Old Prefix
    Specify the prefix to be removed from the business class names that are being copied to the new replication set. Be sure to match the case of the existing prefix.
    New Prefix
    Specify a new prefix to be added to the business class names that are being copied.
    Skip Errors
    If you select this check box, then any errors encountered when copying the replication set's business class records are ignored and a partial copy may result.
  5. Click Submit.
  6. In the Replication Sets pane, click the Search tab.
  7. Search for and select the new replication set.
  8. Click the Ellipsis button and select Open. You can make any necessary modifications to the new replication set.
