Before being able to perform any kind of data transfer to or from a replication destination machine, a source machine must first establish a connection to this destination machine. Actually, the source machine must establish a connection to an account created for it on the destination machine by the destination machine Administrator.
To successfully achieve a connection to a remote destination machine account, the source machine must provide following information:
Two kind of connections are supported: normal and guest connections.
To successfully achieve a normal connection to a remote destination machine account, the remote account must be both:
If ever the remote account is either disabled or active, the connection will fail.
For more information about accounts states (enabled/disabled,
active/inactive), please refer to the online help available in the Replication > Replication destination >
Accounts
menu.
When a new normal connection has been successfully
established, it is visible in the list below Select a connection
in the Replication > Replication source >
Connection to a destination
menu.
A normal connection to a remote account grants the replication source machine read and write access to this account. As a consequence:
These capabilities are provided by the Replication > Replication source > Manage
source data
menu.
It is possible for a replication source machine to establish a
guest connection to a remote shared account. A
guest connection will obviously not succeed if the remote
account is not shared. For more information about shared
accounts, please refer to the online help available in the Replication > Replication destination >
Accounts
menu.
A guest connection to a remote account grants the replication source machine read-only access to this account. As a consequence:
As for normal connections, these capabilities are provided
by the Replication > Replication source
> Manage source data
menu.
