Adding Or Editing A Replication Solution

Use a Replication Solution to copy the contents of your CRM or marketing system to a local database for reporting or business intelligence. Each Replication Solution performs a specific replication task. The processes for configuring and editing a Solution are the same.

Before you configure your first Solution, TIBCO suggests that you view the following video:

TIBCO Scribe® Online Replication Service — Guides you through the process of creating a Replication Solution to replicate data from one datastore to another.

Prerequisites

1. Make sure an Agent is available. Select Dashboard on the menu bar.
2. The Agents widget displays your available Agents.
3. If there are no Agents available, determine whether you want to:
   • Download and install an On-Premise Agent
   • Provision a Cloud Agent

     See TIBCO Scribe® Online Agents for additional information.

4. Create your Connections. Configuring Connections to one or more datastores can be done as you add or edit a Solution, but it may be easier to create them first. If you were invited into this Organization, the Connections may already exist. For information about creating Connections, see Adding A Connection.
