Remarks

The ReplicatonAgent coClass is a software component that can be used to implement replication commands and agents (services). The fundamental unit of replication is a replica pair consisting of a parent replica and a child replica. A ReplicationAgent works with a pair of GeoDataServers. It can be used to create and synchronize replicas within the two GeoDataServers. The ReplicaAgrent also allows you to perform data extration.

If both GeoDataServers are can't be accessed on the same network they are considered disconnected. In this environment, you can perform replication operations by exporting, transporting and importing files. The GeoDataServer class has methods to support these operations.
