Description
Replicate provides an automatic, driver independent, file-version independent, mechanism for replicating data in two or more databases across a WAN (using NetTalk) or LAN.Basically, Replicate logs your changes (adds, edits and deletes) and then using a transport manager of your choice, exports the changes to the other sites, where the file changes are imported to that data set. This is all done completely automatically without your users having to do anything!!
Replicate is much more than a synchronization tool. While it can be used as a synchronizer on a LAN environment, you will find that the majority of the time Replicate works asynchronously. You set it up to process the logfiles (i.e. import and export) as often as you want, and Replicate happily works behind the scenes - without your users really noticing.
Replicate supports both offline and online environments.
Features
-
Tracks all adds/edits and deletes - Embedded into a level below the FileDriver, Replicate tracks all adds, edits and deletes, whether hand-coded, called with the ABC methods, or generated by templates. No extra calls are required to log adds/edits and deletes.
-
Field-level Replication - only logs fields that have changed (when updating a record).
-
Supports Logout/Rollback/Commit
-
Subset propagation - Instead of replicating all the data to all children, Replicate can be configured to just send a subset of data pertaining to that child (or range of children).
-
Variable synchronization timing - You can set-up the Replicate to synchronize as often as you would like, and you can do manual synchronizing with the push of a button.
-
Complete data export - A complete data set can be exported and imported to a new site.
-
Table & Field level Suppression - Allows suppressing of specific tables and/or fields that are not required (like calculated fields and temporary tables).
-
Completely Bi-directional Replication - Replicate will propagate all the file changes you make upwards and downwards between parent and child sites.
-
Optional Internal LogFile compression - using CapeSoft's zLib compression classes.
-
Supports Legacy, ABC and hand-coded procedures and applications.
-
Multiple Version support - only imports those fields that are valid for the file version at the site. Not driver dependent, so you can have a SQL file structure and a TPS file structure happily replicating to each other
-
Use the Log Viewer for Auditing - view file changes sorted by date, user, site, field etc. Create reports of file changes.
Future Features
-
Version synchronization - Log the fields that are not valid, and reapply those changes when the EXE is upgraded.
-
User-change tracking - a search mechanism to track, sort and view changes done by a user.
Recommended products to go with Replicate
 |
Winevent - this will aid you in keeping your LogManager running in the background, completely minimised. Also if you would like to use the CRC checking feature, then WinEvent is required for this feature. |
|
FM3 - Almost essential for upgrading your tables. |
| |
NetTalk - if you're wanting to Replicate outside a LAN environment, you will need a tool to handle the transport (Email or FTP). |
|
SelfService - if you're wanting to run your LogManager as a Service - then you'll need Self-Service. |
