Starting replication

The replica is in a suspended state and no replication is occurring. After you have finished setting up your replication topology, on the master you must:

1. If you have not already done so, use the Web Administration Tool to log on to the master server.
2. Expand the Replication management category in the navigation area of the Web Administration Tool and click Manage queues.
3. Select the new replica.
4. Click Queue details.
5. Click Pending changes.
6. If there are any pending changes, click Skip all. If there are no changes pending click Cancel. This prevents duplication of the topology information that was loaded with the <masterfile.ldif> file. If you have created multiple new replicas, repeat steps 1 through 6 for each of the new servers.
7. Click Manage topology under the Replication management category in the navigation area.
8. Select the subtree you have replicated. The status should be Quiesced.
9. Click Quiesce/Unquiesce to unquiesce the subtree.
10. Click OK. The master now receives updates from its clients and places them in the replication queues.
11. Click Manage queues under the Replication management category in the navigation area.
12. Select the replica.
13. Click Suspend/resume to start receiving replication updates for that server. Repeat steps 10 through 13 for each server that was suspended.
    Note: If you promote to a master, you need to resume the queues on the master.

See Managing queues for more detailed information about managing queues.
