Creating a Mirror Configuration

Having selected Mirrored in the Configuration page, pressing Next in the Password page will display the Get What page. This page lets you choose what types of data you wish to get from the remote workgroup. You will typically select all data types unless you are specifically uninterested in certain data types. For example, you may want each workgroup to share all data except for contact data which should be kept proprietary to each physical database. In this case you would tick all data types except for Contact Information.

The next page is similar, but lets you choose what types of data the remote mirror workgroup can request from you.

The next page lets you choose the user who will receive synchronisation reports. Synchronisation reports are mailed to the chosen user and detail which records were successfully replicated along with any records which failed to replicate. For more information see The Synchronisation Report.

The remaining pages let you choose and set up the Replication Method and complete the creation of the remote workgroup. See The Replication Method Page and Beyond for an explanation of the pages remaining in the creation of a mirror workgroup.
