Advantages and Disadvantages of Full Copy and Standard Routing Groups

The following table describes advantages and disadvantages of the Regional Server - Full Copy routing group and the Regional Server - Standard routing group. Note the following:

• If Replication Manager routes more than half of the data on the parent node to the regional node, then it might be more beneficial to use Full Copy rather than Standard for optimal performance.

• Replication Manager supports All views, such as All Opportunities Across Organizations, only on a regional node that is assigned the Regional Server - Full Copy routing group.

Routing Group	Advantages	Disadvantages
Regional Server - Full Copy	Quick data routing because Replication Manager does not use a routing rule.	Replication Manager stores more data at the regional node.
	Full access to data for every user.	More network traffic.
	Not applicable.	Requires more powerful hardware.
Regional Server - Standard	Replication Manager routes only necessary data.	The Transaction Router must determine the data that the Replication Manager must route, which increases processing time.
	Replication Manager stores less data at the regional node, which requires fewer resources.	Not applicable.
	Less network traffic.	Not applicable.
