Disadvantages of data replication

Replication is not in real time, and therefore, for processes that require real-time integrated data as the financial integration processes, replication is not an option.

For replication, you also must take into account the sequence in which you replicate. First, you must replicate the child tables and then the parent tables, and therefore first the business partners and then the purchase contracts. During the replication process, the data must be frozen. This point is of particular importance if the replication process takes a lot of time.
