Creating a Remote Workgroup

You can create a new reference to a remote workgroup in the following way:

From Supervisor mode, select Remote Workgroups from the left hand list. In the right hand list, click the right mouse button to bring up the context sensitive menu and select New.

The Remote Workgroup Wizard is displayed. This wizard will guide you through the process of creating the reference to the Remote Workgroup and setting various options associated with the Remote Workgroup.

Firstly, type in the name of the Remote Workgroup. This will typically be the name of the organisation. Press Next. The next page lets you choose the workgroup configuration. Choose between Mirrored, Direct and Replica.

For a full description of each workgroup configuration along with its relative advantages and disadvantages see Different Remote Workgroup Configurations.

The next page lets you specify a password which will be used to gain access to the remote workgroup database. If the remote workgroup has not specified an appropriate password in the Remote Workgroup Options dialog box, then you may leave this field blank..

Each configuration requires different information and so different pages are shown depending upon which configuration you choose.
