This panel displays existing replication sets.
Options
| Files | Select this option to maintain the files in this replication set. |
| Initial load | Select this option to create triggers and load the target files for this replication set. This can be done from the replication set for all files that exist within the set or on individual file level on the Work with BCF replication sets, Files panel. Note: If data already exists in the source files it is recommended to run this option. |
| Create trigger | Select this option to create triggers for this replication set. This can be done from the replication set for all files that exist within the set or on individual file level on the Work with BCF replication sets, Files panel. |
| Delete trigger | Select this option to delete triggers for this replication set. This can be done from the replication set for all files that exist within the set or on individual file level on the Work with BCF replication sets, Files panel. |
| Companies | Select this option to access Work with BCF replication sets, Companies. |
Selection fields
- Repl set
- This column lists the identification of the replication set.
- Description
- This column lists the description of the replication set.
- Subset
- This column lists the subset, if any, to which the replication set belongs.
Work with BCF replication sets (BIRD00104)
On this panel you define the parameters for the replication set.
- Replication set name
- Enter the identification of the replication set.
- Description
- Enter the description for the replication set.
- Source library
- Enter the library from where you are replicating data.
- Target library
- Enter the library to where you want the data replicated.
- DC1 system library
- Enter the DC1 system library if the source library is an DC1 database library. This will allow you to select from the available DC1 files that exist in the DC1 database library when you are adding your files for replication.
- Program prefix
- Defaults with the value BI for new records but can be changed. This field, applicable for each company on company level, is used in both the create and remove trigger routines to facilitate unique naming of triggers and trigger programs. One example is to have two replication sets where all SRO* files have prefix BI and the remaining files B2. This would prevent duplicate naming where files are named the same after the initial prefix of SRO, ANO, DIO, etc.
- Subset
- Enter the subset to which the replication set belongs.
- Identity
- PTF/Mod number
Work with BCF replication sets, Copy (BIRD00105)
On this panel you enter the copy parameters.
- Repl set
- Displays the replication set you chose to copy.
- Subset
- Displays the subset, if any, to which the replication set you chose to copy belongs.
- New repl set
- Enter the new replication set.

Work with BCF replication sets, Initial load (BIRD00111)
This panel displays the libraries that should be replicated. The triggers will be created and the files loaded according to when you indicate that the update should start. The initial load can only be run when the file(s) is not locked. To check if any of the files are locked, you can do this on the following two levels:
- Initial load on the initial panel for the replication set. If the Locked files field is set to YES you cannot run it. You have to drill down to file level to check which files are locked.
- Initial load directly on file level.
Note: Take the necessary steps to unlock the file.
- Repl set
- Displays the replication set to which the files belong.
- Description
- Displays the description of the replication set.
- Locked files
- Indicates if the files for this replication set are locked.
- Start update at
- Indicate when the triggers should be created and the loading of the target files should take place and click OK. Valid values are Hour + Minute. Leave the field blank if you want it to start immediately.
