What is the difference between the local and remote replica?

General Questions

I am confused about this replica I need to look at to understand the data that is being synced.
If “A” is the system where the change is made should I be looking at the local or remote replica to see what data is being sent to the destination system?
And conversely, which replica should I look at on the destination system?

Hi @Melinda_VanOstrand

Thanks for reaching out to Exalate community. Let me explain briefly for replica.

In Exalate, the replica concept helps manage how data is synced between two systems. If changes are made in system “A”, you will look at the local replica on system “A” to understand what data is being sent to the destination system. The local replica contains the data of an entity (like an issue or ticket) from the perspective of the system where the change occurred.

Conversely, on the destination system, you should look at the remote replica. The remote replica on the destination system represents the data as it was sent from the source system (“A” in this case).

For more detailed insights, you can refer to the Exalate documentation on replicas: What is a Replica?

Let me know in case you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Sonal

@Sonal_Otwani Thank you for the quick response. This confirms what I thought based on articles in the knowledge base. I just wasn’t sure.
