Course description: UniData Data Replication

 This course is designed to teach how to setup and manage a UniData Data Replication (DR) system. Students will also learn how to configure and tune DR. The ability to perform a failover and failback procedure when necessary are also critical skills taught in this course.

Skills taught 

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the major components of DR and their use
• Implement DR on both publisher and subscriber systems
• Manage DR on a daily basis
• Execute a failover and failback process when necessary
• Use the tools necessary for troubleshooting and tuning
• Explain how DR interacts with RFS
