Selecting the source repository for a replication job

The From Source tab displays when you are creating or modifying a replication job and is used to select the source repository for the replication job. The source repository is the repository from which objects are replicated.

For instructions on how to access the New Replication Job - Source page and create new replication jobs, refer to Creating replication jobs.

To select the source repository for a replication job:

  1. Type the login name of a superuser in the source repository.

  2. Type the password for the superuser you chose in step 1.

  3. On Windows, type the name of the domain where the source repository resides.

  4. Select the source repository and connection broker from the drop-down lists.

    If the correct source repository does not project to a particular connection broker, choose a different connection broker.

    After the replication job runs successfully for the first time, you cannot change the source repository.

  5. Click Select Path to access the Choose a folder page, then select the source cabinet or navigate to the correct folder in a cabinet.

  6. Click a tab to move to another Job Properties page, or click OK or Cancel to return to the Jobs list page.
