when I discovered it, and I had a lot of fun trying to trip it up
(don't ask), but it worked flawlessly.
And don't forget, although it's one way it is one source to many
targets. Anyone interested in setting up multiple replication
servers using this great tool should contact me if they are having
problems (hint: each server uses its own ini with unique InstanceID
and its own config database).
But for serious business use, the tried-and-tested IBReplicator
(http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_replicator)
is your first choice. The cost is worth it when you consider that
IBPhoenix is 100% behind this tool, and you will never be short of
immediate help when you need it. Also, I hear that there is a new
version out soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that and give it a
try, too.
