Replication entry

A replication entry (or replicator) is a run-time component that handles the transfer of internal WebSphere Application Server data.

WebSphere Application Server processes can connect to any replicator within a domain to receive data from other processes connected to any other replicator in the same domain. If the replicator a process is connected to goes down, the WebSphere Application Server process automatically attempts to reconnect to another replicator in the domain and recover data missed while unconnected.

You can define replicators to operate within a running application server process. Replicators are not enabled by default. You must define replicators as needed as part of appserver and cluster management.

You can take the default settings for replicators or specify settings values for replicators that better suit your server configuration. The default configuration options are suitable for many scenarios.
