Release 10.1A: Progress Fathom Replication
Installation Guide

Overview of Fathom Replication

Data replication has two major real-time functions: to distribute copies of information to one or more sites and to provide failure recovery to keep data constantly available to customers. Fathom Replication automatically replicates a local OpenEdge® database to remote OpenEdge databases running on one or more machines. Once Fathom Replication is installed, configured, and started, replication happens automatically.

Fathom Replication offers users the ability to keep OpenEdge databases identical while also providing a hot standby in case a database fails. When a database fails, another becomes active. Therefore, mission-critical data is always available to your users.
