Overview
Replicate Preview’s home page is organized into workspaces. A workspace is a collection of replications associated with its Target and Source Datastores that enables your team members to work on together for a specific project requirement using different replication types. Workspaces are categorized based on the replication types required for your project. Currently, Replicate Preview supports workspace creation for the Snapshot replication type. Workspaces for other replication types will be supported in future releases of Replicate Preview.
Note
If you are a new user, Replicate Preview displays the Create Workspace button on its home page that allows you to create your first workspace for your project. Refer to Creating a Workspace for more information.
On Replicate Preview’s home page, different workspaces are listed with their replication type and Quick Action icons in the Actions column. The Quick Action icons allow you to manage your workspaces. Based on your requirements, you can create multiple workspaces for your project. You can also perform the following actions in the Actions column for a workspace, but not limited to:
To access a workspace, select a required workspace in the Name column. The Workspace details page is displayed. If you are working with multiple workspaces, you can use the Search field to access your required workspace.
Creating a Workspace
You can create one or more workspaces based on your project requirements. If you are a new user, you are prompted to create your first workspace on the home page.
To create a workspace:
Access Replicate Preview on the Syniti Knowledge Platform home page.
Click the Create Replication Workspace button. The Create Replication Workspace page is displayed.
In the Name field, enter a name for your workspace as required.
In the Description field, enter a brief description to state the purpose or objective of your workspace.
From the Workspace Type list, select the replication type for this workspace. Currently, the replication type defaults to Snapshot in Replicate Preview.
By default, Replicate Preview sets the configurations below that controls the replication executions at the workspace level. However, you can modify it as required.

Click Save.
A new workspace is now created and displayed on the Replicate Preview home page. Select the newly created workspace to begin configuring your workspace.
Tabs in Workspaces
Each workspace includes Datastores and Groups tabs that assist in efficient management for large number of replications available in your workspace.
Datastores Tab
When you create a workspace, the Datastores tab is displayed by default as the primary view. The Datastores tab drives your project’s workspace. This tab contains the necessary information about Target Datastores, Source Datastores, and Replications for your project.
The Datastores tab enables you to:
Configure and manage your Target Datastores, Source Datastores, and their associated Replications
Perform specific actions such as:
Add manual replications
Field mappings
Set up replication dependencies
Import and export data using Syniti Drive
Execute replication jobs at replication, source, and target levels
Schedule replication jobs at replication, source, and target levels
Monitor status of replications, sources, and targets in real-time
View replication logs
Add replications to one or multiple groups
Refer to Configure Workspace: Datastores for more information on configuring your workspace based on your project requirements.
Groups Tab
The Groups tab allows you to create a group where you can add multiple replications as a group or set. Grouping replications allows you to efficiently organize and manage data replication of your organization’s data for multiple use cases. You can add a replication (while maintaining its dependencies) to multiple groups as required.
For example, to replicate data for different departments within your organization such as Sales, Vendor, Materials, and so on, you can simply create separate groups to group replications related to each department so that you can schedule, execute replications, and monitor logs for those groups, instead of doing the same process multiple times for a long list of individual replications.
You can also create and have a group of system or application tables, which contains a list of known tables with metadata required for your project.
The Groups tab enables you to:
Create groups as needed
Add replications to the required groups
Schedule the group to execute the replications based on the configured recurrence
Execute the group to run the replications associated with it
Configure or update the group to specify the execution mode
Refer to Configure Workspace: Groups for more information on creating replication groups and adding replications to a group.
