About Replication Administration

Replication Administration enables you to:

Define configurations for replicating items in projects and baselines, and for requests.
Define subordinate sites to receive replications from master database (DB) sites.
View, edit, and delete existing replication configurations.
View a list of sent or received transfers.
View the details and result of a transferred or received replication.
Delete log files for transferred and received replications.

Only users with the privilege ADMIN_REPL can define or edit replication configurations that are owned by current base database.
To define or edit replication configurations, replication must be allowed for the base database. Use the Administration Console | Distributed Development | Network administration function to enable replication for a base database.
For baseline replications, the design part structure, requests, template definitions, and other process model objects, such as types, attributes, or lifecycle definitions, that the baseline might use are not replicated.

IMPORTANT!

Serena Dimensions Replicator is not supported against Dimensions 12.1 with Microsoft SQL Server RDBMS.
Serena Dimensions Replicator does not support the use of Dimensions streams.
Replication of design parts is not currently supported. A separate data transfer utility, "PDIFF Import/Export", is available for transferring design parts between databases. Please refer to Chapter 12, "Data Interchange File Format (PDIFF)" and Chapter 13, "Using the pdiff Tool to Import/Export Data" of the System Administration Guide for details.
Replication of requirements information from one Dimensions server to another is not currently supported in Dimensions. However, by carefully coordinating Dimensions requests, you can still fully track the fulfillment of requirements in a replicated Dimensions environment. .See, "Integrating Dimensions RM and Dimensions CM in a Replicated Environment" in the System Administration Guide.
