Hi guys,

Im new in using Ibreplicator. Im doing one way replication N to 1. That means i need N source databases and 1 target database.
Then,What is the configuration database ? what is it for ?

Replication to empty target database

Wed, 17 Jan 2007 21:21:58 +0100

I installed Replication Manager and server
I configured an replication schema (online) according to guide from your web page
Replication works fine when I add or edit an record in source database

how to run multiple tasks simultaneously?

Tue, 26 Dec 2006 23:24:16 +0100

I have two separate databases located on one server and i need to replicate these two databases to a second and a third server. I setup the schema using 4 different Repl_user (REPL1, REPL2,REPL3 and REPL4)and i then setup 4 tasks to run each schema.

Conditional replication

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 12:08:00 +0100

Q: I try writing in replication manager the condition but it not work, how do I write condition WHERE NEW.XYZ=-1? Actually I must solve the problem changing the directly the trigger in (VAR$COND>0 AND NEW.XYZ = -1).

Offline vs. online replication, n-way

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 13:19:01 +0200

Q: I have downloaded and tried IbReplicator, and I have a question about it:

I want to use offline sync, how can I test it on my own pc? E.g. what are some default configs, do's and dont's?
I use it as two way sync? So duplex sync? (as far as it is possible) And how, do's and dont's?

Replication scenario for 4 databases

Replication or synchronization

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 12:35:52 +0200

Q: I want to use your ib-replicator to do a synchronization between 2 firebird databases but i have some problems of understanding in configuration your software. I have two databases connected in two offices connected by VPN.

Replication of four servers

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 11:56:40 +0200

Q: I currently have two database servers located at two different locations. I have a 1MB connection between the two sites (tcp/ip). It is quite possible that in the future there will be 4 database servers located at four different locations.

INSERT/UPDATE records in target database

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 11:08:19 +0200

Changes in source/target database

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 10:55:19 +0200

Q: Suppose my replication works and when I change the Database definition, e.g., I add a field in one table. This new field won't be replicated, the reason is it's not defined in the replicator. What must I do to work

Replication of generators
