Replication Agent - The Next Generation

Simplified Configuration

With V11, great effort has gone into simplifying the process of installing and configuring the FairCom® Replication Agent. A graphical editor is now available to configure the Replication Agent. It allows you to define your configuration by selecting keywords from a list. Changes to configuration files are propagated to all affected nodes on your network.

For the ultimate in control, the FairCom Replication Agent is compatible with the FairCom Replication Manager. This tool presents a graphical representation of the c-treeACE servers on your network...both local and remote. You can apply a Smart Template to configure and fine-tune any of the standard replication models. Or you can use it to dig down and edit the configuration to your exact specifications. All with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Faster

Performance improvements are constantly ongoing at FairCom. This release of the FairCom Replication Agent makes great strides in achieving the ideal of simultaneous updates to the source and target databases.

Multi-threaded DLL

The Replication Agent makes a big step forward with a new multi-threaded DLL. This enhanced architecture improves performance in demanding applications, such as heavy traffic and multiple replicated nodes.

Event Notification

The Replication Agent now supports a configuration option that causes it to run an external program when any of a list of events occurs. The program can be an executable, Windows batch file, or Unix shell script. For example, a program can be run when the Replication Agent starts up, shuts down, loses connection, etc.

On Windows the Replication Agent installs an exception handler so it can notify the external process if an unhandled exception occurs.
