Creating a Metadata for Syniti Replicate

Prev Next

Syniti recommends creating a Syniti Replicate Metadata in Microsoft SQL Server. This article describes high-level steps to create a Metadata from scratch.

Complete the following steps when you run a clean installation or upgrade Replicate from a previous version of DBMoto or Syniti Data Replication using the standard installation:

  1. In your local Syniti Server, install SQL Server of any edition such as Express, Standard, or Enterprise.

  2. Create a database in SQL Server. For example, Metadata.

  3. Create a user in this database (for example, Metadata) and ensure that you grant full permissions to this database.

  4. In Syniti Replicate, after completing your installation or upgrade, a new server local appears in the Metadata Explorer. Right click Local and select Add New Metadata.

  5. Complete the steps in the Metadata Connection wizard to create a metadata. In this case, create a metadata named Metadata.

  6. Enter the credential created in SQL Server to connect with the database, test the database connection, and click Next.

  7. Select the newly created database.

  8. You can create a new Metadata if this is a clean installation or restore a previous Metadata from a backup.

  9. If your metadata is already stored in a SQL Server database, select Open existing Metadata Database to recover your metadata from this location.

  10. Once you complete the wizard, the new metadata appears in the Metadata Explorer.
