Metadata Explorer
Use this area of the Management Center to:
Set up user access to Syniti Replicate
Add and remove views of remote Syniti Replicate installations (servers)
Manage properties of each server listed in the Metadata Explorer
Create Syniti Replicate metadata as a way of managing replication projects
Add connections for source and target tables
Create replications and groups
In a standard installation of Syniti Replicate, you will always see a tree structure that looks like the one here, with an entry for the "local" installation of Syniti Replicate. In addition, you must create metadata connections in a local Microsoft SQL Server, refer to Metadata Connection Wizard for more information to create metadata. In most cases, you will start adding source and target connections to this metadata, then create and run replications. However, you can choose to create metadata in an alternative RDBMS.
