About Replication:

The Advantage Database Server must be licensed for replication and requires a separate validation code to enable it. That code is entered in the Replication Code field in this dialog.

 

•Advantage Database Server Replication is used to keep two or more live databases logically consistent with each other and sends updates to another usable live database.

•Replication requires the target location to also be running Advantage Database Server.

•Replication operates on an update-by-update basis. If the target database is online, the update is sent to the target immediately after the original update occurs.
