NOTE The Replication command synchronizes data only at the site at which it is
initiated. Each site is responsible for its own replication. For more information on
site replication see replication in the following section.
Connected Workgroups
Autodesk Vault Collaboration and Vault Professional allow the configuration
of connected workgroups to impove the performance of Microsoft SQL for
remote sites.
Replication
Replication is the process of copying data from one server to another server
usually located in two different physical locations. This process allows the
setup of a Vault environment which has two different locations and users will
not have to spend time downloading large CAD files across their Wide Area
Network (WAN) connection. Before the added features of Connected
Workgroups in Vault Collaboration and Vault Professional only the files were
replicated.
The connected workgroup feature in Autodesk Vault Collaboration and Vault
Professional supports the use of multiple database servers using Microsoft SQL
Publisher/Subscriber technology. This technology allows the replication of
the SQL database at multiple locations.
Workgroups Fixing
Autodesk Vault Collaboration allows replication of file stores from one site to
another site. This is managed by one Microsoft SQL database. This
configuration is known as a workgroup. The following illustration shows a
typical workgroup configuration. All sites in a single workgroup share the
same Microsoft SQL server.
