To Configure any Replication Topology

1. Define a replication manager entry on all servers except single masters (or use the default replication manager on all servers.)

2. On all servers containing a dedicated consumer replica:

   1. Create an empty suffix for the consumer replica.

   2. Enable the consumer replica on the suffix through the replication wizard.

   3. Optionally, configure the advanced replica settings.

3. On all servers containing a hub replica, if applicable:

   1. Create an empty suffix for the hub replica.

   2. Enable the hub replica on the suffix through the replication wizard.

   3. Optionally, configure the advanced replica settings.

4. On all servers containing a master replica:

   1. Choose or create a suffix on one of the masters that will be the master replica.

   2. Enable the master replica on the suffix through the replication wizard.

   3. Optionally, configure the advanced replica settings.

5. Configure the replication agreements on all supplier replicas, in the following order:

   1. Between masters in a multimaster set.

   2. Between masters and their dedicated consumers.

   3. Between masters and hub replicas.

      Optionally, you can configure fractional replication at this stage.

6. Configure replication agreements between the hub replicas and their consumers.

7. For multimaster replication, initialize all masters from the same master replica containing the original copy of the data. Initialize the hub and consumer replicas.
