Initializing Replication

After you have configured a replica naming context, the master and replica data stores must be in the same state, so that the replica can receive replication updates from the master. If the master data store already contains entries, the Admin Console displays a dialog box giving you the option of populating the replica. Use this facility to populate the replica automatically with the entries that the master contains.

Although you can start the replication process from the Admin Console, the Admin Console does not control the process and does not display error messages. You need to check the replication log files, dspush.log and dspull.log, to ensure that the replication process has completed successfully.
