Syntax

Opening a replication in direct mode Hide the details

<Result> = ReplicOpen(<Replication> [, <Working directory>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the replication was opened,
False if an error occurred. For more details about the problem, use ErrorInfo.

<Replication>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of replication file to open (file with a ".wer" extension), with no path and no extension. This file was created by the replication editor (ReplicEdit). This file must be found beside the executable.

<Working directory>: Optional character string (with quotes)

Directory where the replication will be performed (creation of files required by the replication). By default (or if this parameter corresponds to an empty string ("")):
this directory corresponds to the directory of the application executable (directory returned by fExeDir).
this directory corresponds to the "<,Application_Home>/Documents/" directory.
this directory corresponds to "<data dir>/databases/<replication-name>".

Opening a replication with a replication server Hide the details

<Result> = ReplicOpen(<Replication> , <Working directory> , <Server address> , <User> , <Password>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the connection was established with the replication server,
False if an error occurred. For more details about the problem, use ErrorInfo.

<Replication>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of replication to open. This name corresponds to the publication name of replication.

<Working directory>: Character string (with quotes)

Directory where the replication will be performed (creation of files required by the replication). By default (or if this parameter corresponds to an empty string ("")):
this directory corresponds to the directory of the application executable (directory returned by fExeDir).
this directory corresponds to the "<,Application_Home>/Documents/" directory.
this directory corresponds to "<data dir>/databases/<replication-name>".

<Server address>: Character string (with quotes)

Address of the replication server. This address can correspond to:
the IP address of server in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format
the name of server.

<User>: Character string (with quotes)

User name. This name corresponds to an account created on the replication server.

<Password>: Character string (with quotes)

Password associated with the user.

Remarks

Use in direct mode

The call to this function is optional in direct mode because it is automatically called by the other replication functions (with the default parameters) if it was not called beforehand.

Opening ports

This function is using the replication server that is using the Web server on which it is installed. Therefore, port 80 must be opened on the replication server.
