from the supplier to the consumer. The default is to create an initialization file (an LDIF of all

consumer as soon as the replication agreement is completed or not at all. For information on

• Create the supplier-hub replication agreement on the supplier first, and initialize the hub
from the supplier.
• Create the hub-consumer replication agreements on the hub, and initialize the consumers
from the hub.
