In the Data Replication Console, you can deploy a replication configuration for which you are the owner to the local Server Manager Main server or to a remote Main server. If you are the idradmin user, you can deploy any replication configuration.
In the Data Replication Console, the term
full deployment
refers to deploying an entire configuration to the local Server Manager Main server or a remote Main server. You must perform a full deployment the first time you deploy a configuration file. The term
partial deployment
refers to deploying only the configuration changes that have occurred since the last full deployment.
In the following common scenarios, perform a full deployment:
Deploy a configuration from a test environment to a remote production environment.
Deploy a configuration to the local Server Manager Main server to quickly generate multiple configuration files based on the original configuration.
Deploy a configuration to the local Server Manager Main server to configure a replication job that replicates data from multiple sources to a single target.
The Data Replication documentation uses the following terms to refer to the configurations and environments that are involved in the deployment process:
Destination environment
. The environment to which you deploy a configuration or configuration changes. The deployment destination can be a remote production environment or a local environment that uses the same Server Manager Main server.
New configuration
. The copy of the original configuration in the destination environment.
Original configuration
. The configuration that you deploy from the original environment.
Original environment
. The environment from which you deploy the original configuration.
