Replication domain collection

Use this page to view the configured replication domains that are used for replication by the HTTP session manager, dynamic cache service, and stateful session bean failover components. All components that need to share information must be in the same replication domain. Data replication domains replace multi-broker replication domains that were available for replication in prior releases. Migrated application servers use multi-broker replication domains which are collections of replicators. You should migrate any multi-broker replication domains to be data replication domains.

To view this administrative console page, click Environment > Replication domains.

Name

Specifies a name for the replication domain. The name of the replication domain must be unique within the cell.

Domain type

Following are the two types of replication domains:

Multi-broker domain Specifies a replication domain that was created with a previous version of WebSphere Application Server. This type of replication domain consists of replicator entries. Support of this type of domain remains for backward compatibility, but is deprecated. Multi-broker and data replication domains do not communicate with each other, so migrate any multi-broker replication domains to the new data replication domains. We cannot create a multi-broker domain or replicator entries in the administrative console after the deployment manager is upgraded to the current version of WebSphere Application Server.
Data replication domain Specifies a replication domain created with the latest version of WebSphere Application Server. If the deployment manager has been upgraded to the latest version of WebSphere Application Server, one can create data replication domains only. With the data replication domain, one can specify a number of replicas instead of statically partitioning your replication settings. Specify a data replication domain for each consumer of the domain, for example, two separate domains for dynamic cache and session manager.
