Start Replicate
Use this page to start a replicate that is inactive.
When a replicate is active, Enterprise Replication (ER) captures data from the logical log on the source server and transmits it to the active participants on the target servers.
If a replicate belongs to an exclusive replicate set, you must start the replicate set to start the replicate.
Participants
This list displays the names of the server group for each participant in the replicate. Select the check box for each participant that you want to start.
To start all the participants in the replicate, select the All Participants check box.
Options
Synchronize data: Select this option to perform an initial synchronization for the replicates that you are starting. All the rows that match the replication criteria are transferred from the data source server that you specify to the target servers.
Specify the data source server for synchronization: If you select Synchronize data, this list of the servers in the replicate becomes available. Select the synchronization server from the list. The participant on the selected synchronization server is started even if it is not selected as one of the participants to start.
