Types of DCM replication topologies

A replication topology defines whether databases replicate data directly with each other, or through intermediate hub databases. Two typical replication topologies include Point-to-Point and Hub and Spoke.

DCM does not rely on real-time bi-directional flow between source and destination databases. Therefore, you need to let DCS know how to replicate and hand over control of change requests across databases. You can use various replication topologies. For DCS to safely hand over control of change requests, there must be one unique defined replication process through which hand over takes place.
