Synchronization Server Help
You must define at least one replication source for every DataPropagator
subscription.
These steps are part of the larger task of creating a DataPropagator
subscription or editing a DataPropagator subscription. When you
complete the steps for specifying source tables, target tables, and privileges
for a subscription, return to the main task.

To add a replication source to the subscription:
- Ensure that you defined the table as a DB2 DataPropagator replication
source. You can use the DB2 Control Center to define the replication
source. For more information, see the DB2 Universal Database
Replication Guide and Reference or the Control Center online
help. Replication sources can be used and managed by tools other than
the DB2 Everyplace Sync Server, so when you define the source, ensure that you
control access to the data in a way that all subscription sets can take
advantage of.
- On the Identification page of the
DataPropagator Subscription notebook, click Define
subscription. The Define Replication Subscription window
opens.
The Subscription name field reflects the name of the
subscription that you entered on the Identification page; the Apply
qualifier field shows a unique qualifier that the Mobile Devices
Administration Center uses for all subscriptions defined for this
database.
The Apply qualifier streamlines the process of synchronizing the mid-tier
mirror database with its master database on the enterprise system; when
the Apply process runs under the control server, DataPropagator replicates
data for all subscriptions with the same Apply qualifier. The Apply
qualifier defaults to the name of the mirror database, and can be
changed.
- In the Define Replication Subscription window, click
Add. The Add window opens.
- In the Add window, use the Replication source list to select
the replication sources to add to this subscription.
- Under Access privileges, select the SQL access privileges that
you want users of this subscription to have for this replication
source. For example, if some of your visiting nurses are allowed to
insert, update, or delete data, but trainee nurses are allowed only to view
the data, you need to create two different subscriptions to handle the
difference in access privileges. For more information about SQL access
privileges, see the DB2 Universal Database Administration Guide:
Design and Implementation.
- In the Target table field, specify the name that the table will
have on the mobile device. If you do not specify a name, the system
uses the name of the source table by default. The Create target
table check box is always disabled.
- Click Add to add the replication source to the
subscription. The Add window closes.
