ReplicOpen (Function)

In french: RéplicOuvre

Opens a replication in direct mode or with a replication server. This replication was defined by the replication editor (ReplicEdit).

ReplicOpen("MaRéplication")

// Ouvre une réplication sur le serveur de réplication
ReplicOpen("MaRéplication", "", "ServeurReplication", "Florence", "motpasse")

// Initialise la réplication en passant le numéro du département 
// à prendre en compte
IF ReplicInfo("MaRéplication", replicInitialized) = False THEN
	ReplicInitialize("MaRéplication", 47012)
END

// Lance la synchronisation
ReplicSynchronize("MaRéplication")

// Traitement des erreurs renvoyées par les fonctions de Réplication
CASE ERROR :
	Error(ErrorInfo(errFullDetails))
	RETURN

<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 occurs. For more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.

<Replication>: Character string

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

<Working directory>: Character string

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 ("")):

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