OpenEdge Replication provides hot standby capabilities. OpenEdge Replication has two major real-time functions:
To distribute copies of information to one or more sites
To provide failure recovery to keep data constantly available to customers
OpenEdge Replication automatically replicates a local OpenEdge database to remote OpenEdge databases running on one or more machines. Once OpenEdge Replication is installed, configured, and started, replication happens automatically. OpenEdge Replication offers users the ability to keep OpenEdge databases identical while also providing a hot standby in the event a database fails. When a database fails, another becomes active. Therefore, mission-critical data is always available to your users.
OpenEdge Replication provides the following benefits:
Availability of mission-critical data 24 hours a day, seven days a week
Minimal or no disruption in the event of unplanned downtime or disaster
OpenEdge Replication provides the following key features:
Automated, real-time replication of databases for failover or disaster recovery
Failback functionality
A single source database and one or two target database configurations
Data integrity between source and target databases
Continued source database activity while administration tasks are being performed
Replication activity reporting
Online backup of source and target databases
