Establishing XP Replication Monitor software initial settings 54
During information source registration, you can specify that configuration information is not to be collected from
an information source. The default setting is that configuration information is collected and the collected
information is stored in the database maintained by XP Replication Monitor software.
You can also change any of the above information after you have registered an information source. When you
change the IP address (or host name), protocol, or port number, not only is the information changed;
configuration information is also collected from the information source.
