Configuring a replication environment

After you create the replication environment, use the Configure Replication wizard to create the connections, database replication definitions, and subscriptions.

In the left pane, select the two-tier environment.
In the right pane, double-click Configure Replication.
Select the type of environment you want to create:
- A standard replication server warm standby environment. See Configuring a standard warm standby environment.
- An environment where the primary database is replicated to several replicate sites. See Configuring an environment with one primary database and multiple targets.
- A bidirectional replication environment. See Creating a bidirectional replication environment.

Before you replicate data, you must create replication definitions and subscriptions. Create these replication definitions and subscriptions individually by database, or allow the Configure Replication wizard to create replication definitions and subscriptions for you. See Managing database replication for more information.
