Setting up Web Synchronization

Top  Previous  Next

Note:

These are the instructions you would follow on your Web server, when you are using the replication model.

 

1.  Under the "Tools" menu, click on "Web Server Setup Console".  If "Web Server Setup Console" does not appear under the "Tools" menu, you need to give yourself permission to view it.

 

2.  Check the box for "Enable buttons for Web Synchronization." in the lower left corner.

 

WebServerSetupConsole_Std_Start

 

3.  If you haven't already, run the Web Synchronization Prereqs.

 

4.  Click on "Setup Web Synchronization"

 

5.  Notice the name of the publication, the alternate working directory, the replication user and password that will be created locally on the server.

6.  Click "OK".

 

7.  Read the next section about "Copying Subscription Data Text to the Clipboard".

 

 

Note:

The "Setup Web Synchronization" screen is designed to allow being repeatedly without disrupting the availability of the Web service.  However, unless you're making major changes, you should only need to run the "Setup Web Synchronization" screen only once per database.

 

Note:

The URL that leads to your web application will be your base URL + "/dataserver/" + the name of your database.  However if your database name starts with "dataserver_", than this portion will be removed.  So a database name of "dataserver_abc" would result in a URL of https://www.yourdomain.com/dataserver/abc, but a database name of "my_abc_database" would result in a URL of https://www.yourdomain.com/dataserver/my_abc_database.
