Configuring a multisite update using a SmartGuide

Use the Configure Multisite Update SmartGuide to configure an instance to perform a multisite update. The SmartGuide determines from your input whether a sync-point manager is required for a multisite update.

You use this SmartGuide in cases when an application uses multiple databases, where it is crucial that distributed data be consistent, and where the best method to ensure the data's uniformity is to update it simultaneously.
