Subscribing to a Package from a Subscribing Server
When you subscribe to a package from the subscribing server, your server sends a subscription request to the publishing server. The publishing server adds your server to the subscription list for the package.
The remote server must have an alias defined on the local server. If the remote server does not already have an alias defined, you can define one ahead of time by going to the Settings menu of the Navigation panel and clicking Remote Servers or you can define one while creating the subscription.
When requesting a subscription, the subscriber must provide the following two-way connection information to the publisher:
Method the subscriber will use to connect to the publisher to make the subscription request. The subscriber must supply a valid userid and password it can use to log on to the publishing server. You set up this and other connection information using a remote server alias for the publisher.
Method the publisher will use to connect to the subscriber when sending it a package. The subscriber must supply a valid userid and password that the publisher can use to log on to the subscribing server. This userid must be a member of a group that is assigned to the Replicators ACL. In addition, the subscriber must supply other connection information, such as listening port.
