Replication of very large database - Can you use 2 replicators?

Hi all,

I have a huge database. 800,000 docs

It has a replica on another server.

We needed to make changes to almost every document + import 250,000 more.

To speed up the process the changes were made on 1 server and the import was run on another replica.

Now I am replicating the DBs together. It has taken 6hrs so far using Push replication from one server.

Can I start a Push replicator on the other server ? Or even start a Pull on the other server ?

Or will this cause issues?

Cheers

Paul

Changes have been made to almost all documents

What is the network speed between the replicas?

We have the servers on Gig network, although the database concerned is now 31GB - 1100000 documents

It probably took 18hrs to complete the Pull Push Replication.

Both had 800,000 at one point.

Then one had all 800,000 edited with a new field and the other replica had 300,000 docs added.

Cheers

Tommy,

Only one replicator will run against a single db. Having multiple replicators will allow concurrent replication of multiple db’s, though.
