About Replication

The eServGlobal formal Intranet site is largely based on Drupal and is maintained by MySQL database replication using Drupal's Database Replication module. As described in the About DBFM topic, Document Publishing within the Intranet site is handled by the Database File Manager (DBFM), developed by eServGlobal. Due to DBFMs ability to handle potentially large documents and files, a more pragmatic approach to database replication is required. In response to these specific needs, eservGlobal have developed the methods and processes required to handle DBFM replication within their Intranet architecture. This help describes the actions required by administrators to complete or verify the configuration of the master and slave servers.
