  The Event Replicator Target Adapter supports two types of sources through which replicated data can be submitted to your RDBMS databases and web services: webMethods EntireX and WebSphere MQ (MQSeries). Before you can use the Event Replicator Target Adapter, you must set up a source definition for every unique webMethods EntireX or WebSphere MQ data source you will be using to retrieve the replicated data for your Event Replicator Target Adapter targets.

  There is also the option to configure Global Source Configurations for EntireX Communicator and Websphere MQ.

- #### Targets

  The Event Replicator Target Adapter supports several types of targets to which replicated data can be submitted: JMS, RDBMS databases, Adabas, Terracotta (caches and database server) and web services. Before you can use the Event Replicator Target Adapter, you must set up a target definition for every unique target you intend to use for the replicated data the Event Replicator Target Adapter processes. These definitions provide Event Replicator Target Adapter with the information it needs to access your target and to communicate with Event Replicator for Adabas via webMethods EntireX or WebSphere MQ.
