Replication Agreements

Replication agreements define the relationships between a supplier and a consumer. The replication agreement is configured on the supplier. A replication agreement contains the following replication parameters:

• The suffix to replicate.

• The consumer server to which the data is pushed.

• The replication schedule.

• The bind DN and credentials the master must use to bind to the consumer.

• How the connection is secured.

• Which attributes to exclude or include in fractional replication, if fractional replication is configured.

• The group and window sizes to configure the number of changes you can group into one request and the number of requests that can be sent before consumer acknowledgement is required.

• Information about the replication status for this agreement.

• The level of compression used in replication on Solaris and Linux systems.
