Replication
« on: March 10, 2004, 01:17:01 am »
Hi all,

I have a few questions for you EA experts:

1) Why doesn't replication (Tools->Manage .EAP File) work if I'm using a shared DBMS based repository? How to fix that? (Well, I can see that this is about EAP file, but I need the replication using DBMS)

Workaround might be to have a copy of the base as an EAP file on local HD and then transfer the data in to the DBMS? But this is not useful, than I don't need DBMS. The problem is, that in our office we need team colaboration, but we also have a need for replication because our subcontractor is also using this EA project. How to solve this problem?

2) If I create two replicas out of the master (using local project) and I, for example, create a connection type between two nodes (deployment diagram) in replica1 as associate and in the replica2 I change the connection type to realize.

Then I open master again and try to synchronize both replicas with master, first replica1 and then replica2; EA is not detecting any conflicts - the result, I have the diagram state as it was in the last merged replica. How come? Shouldn't the EA detect that when I go to Tools->Manage .EAP File->Resolve replica confilcts?

Is it possible somehow to merge more replicas at the same time? Maybe I misunderstood the help file how to merge replicas... but I can't find any detailed info about that.

Then, if I start a synchronization from the replica with master, conflicts are detected, but this dialog box only shows the table where the confilct occured with row ID, this is really hard to identify, where exactly is the conflict in the diagram??? (no visual pointout?)

Please answer me.

Thx,
 S.

No idea or I haven’t been descriptive enough?
