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
