NC4 - E Team - R9.8 Configuration Documents - E Team Data Replication Services Configuration (DRS)

E Team Data Replication Services (DRS) enables two installations of E Team to share data with each other in a synchronous manner. 

• E Team DRS will be used to replicate data between two installations of E Team.
• All reports, except the time zone, non-editable configuration information and GIS Configuration, will be replicated.
• DRS will share replicated data with the remote system in a near-real time manner.
• DRS will not replicate reports/data entered into the E Team system before DRS configuration is setup. However, DRS will replicate reports as soon as they are updated after DRS configuration is setup.

Both E Team systems MUST be configured properly for Data Replication to work. The following information must be shared, and identified within each system's DRS Configuration document:

• User ID
• User Password
• Remote Server IP and Port
• Customer ID
• Protocol Used – HTTP or HTTPS

You must create a document for each data replicating partner.

2. The system displays a list of DRS Configuration reports.
3. Click the Create button to create a new DRS Configuration. The System opens a report in the new window in update mode.
