Setting Primary Locations

When a location is generated, the location’s transaction database is allocated and made primary at the location automatically. All other databases at the Hub can be transferred to the new location, where they will be secondary at first. This section describes how to make a database primary at a location .

Note:
A database can only be primary at one location: setting the primary location automatically makes the database secondary at all other locations.

1. If selecting one of the databases from the Admin Elements window and click Modify on the Admin Elements window, to display the Modify Database window.

   Note:
   The options that are inactive on this window are the attributes of the database that cannot be modified once it has been created.

   

2. Select the pull-down option at the right of the Primary Loc. text box, to display the Primary Location window.

   

3. Select a location, click OK, and then Apply the Modify Database window. The database will now be primary at the Satellite, and secondary at the Hub, as shown by the - sign in the column on the Admin Elements window for the Hub.
