Start date

Use this field to specify the start date for a subscription.

Start time

Click on the hours, minutes, or seconds portion of this field, then use the spin buttons to adjust the time. Your adjustments specify a start time for a subscription.

Time-based

Select this check box to specify how often to replicate the subscription. If you select this check box, you must select one of the following radio buttons to specify the type of timing:

• Using relative timing

  Select this radio button to apply changes to the target table or source at the intervals you specify. Use the following spin buttons to specify time parameters:

  Weeks

  Specifies the relative time in weeks. The default is zero. The upper limit of this spin button is 52.

  Days

  Specifies the relative time in days. The default is zero. The upper limit of this spin button is 6.

  Hours

  Specifies the relative time in hours. The default is four. The upper limit of this spin button is 23.

  Minutes

  Specifies the relative time in minutes. The default is zero. The upper limit of this spin button is 59.

• Continuously

  Select this radio button to apply changes to the target table without interruption.

Event-based

Select this check box to specify that the table be replicated whenever the event you specify in the Event name field occurs. The replication program reads the Event name in your job scheduling program to initiate the Apply process for the target table.

In order to enable event-based replication, you must also populate (using the Command Center or an application program) the subscription events table with a timestamp for the event name. When the Apply program detects the event, it begins replication. See the Replication Guide and Reference for more information about the subscription events table.

Event name

Type a value in this field to initiate the Apply process for the target table or source.

This field:

• Can contain up to 18 characters
• Can be an ordinary or delimited identifier

OK

Cancel

Apply replicates...minutes of data at a time

Use this spin button to specify the number of minutes at a time that Apply will copy committed data. Apply breaks down the answer set into smaller blocks, preventing log overflows.
