Siebel Replication Manager


Siebel Replication Manager replicates structured and unstructured data between parent enterprise servers and subordinate enterprise servers called Regional Nodes. Each regional node is a separate Enterprise Server with a Siebel Database, Siebel Servers, and Siebel File System for a set of connected and mobile users. The set of users is based on the set of registered users at the regional node.

Each regional node is created as a child of a parent node. A parent node is another enterprise server that is either the Headquarters Node (the master node) or another regional node. A regional node contains either a full replica or a subset of the parent data, consisting of both database records and file attachments. Siebel Replication Agent periodically synchronizes each regional node with its parent node to keep the data current at both locations.

Typically, a regional node is geographically separated from the Headquarters Node, but this is not a necessary condition.

This chapter discusses how Siebel Replication Manager works. The next three chapters explain how to install, configure, and administer Siebel Replication Manager and describe how to upgrade Regional Databases.
