Hi, currently, I'm evaluating some replication tools for InterBase. I would like to choose IBReplicator if the following scenario can be handled with this tool: My customers often work at multiple locations: One is the central office, the others are subbranches located in other cities or laptop users. At every place there is installed my app with an InterBase server. The subbranches can connect to the central office by a dial up connection. The laptop users connect via a docking station to the central office OR one of the subbranches. Data can be inserted/changed/deleted on every place. Since everywhere the same data is needed, there is a need for replication: Every change of the data which took place at one location has to be replicated to all other places. My question is: Can this be done with IBReplicator? If yes: What, if some subbranches or laptop users are added? Does this affect the existing subbranches/laptop users? IMHO the main problem is the following thing: If there are more than two servers every server has to maintain which data has successfully replicated to every other server. IF this is right, every server must know the existence of every other server. But this is not good. It would be better if only the "main server" in the central office know how many server take part on replication. Additional question: Are global generators supported by IBReplicator? Best regards, Georg
