Replication from Multiple Sources to a Single Target
Replication from Multiple Sources to a Single Target
You can replicate data from multiple source databases on different systems to a single target. You can use source databases of different types when replicating from multiple sources to a single target.
To replicate data from multiple sources, you typically install Informatica Data Replication on each source system and on the target system. On each source, run an Extractor task and a Server Manager instance. On the target, run an Applier task and a Server Manager instance.
The following image shows a typical deployment topology that includes three sources and the Data Replication Console on a standalone machine:
Alternatively, you can run the Extractor and Server Manager on a separate machine that can access the source database logs. Also, you can run the Applier and Server Manager on any machine that can access the target database by means of the target database connectivity client or ODBC driver. For example, run the Applier on one of the source systems. In this case, you would not install Data Replication on the target system.
