Populating the Local _All Parameter Tables

In an initialized database, the parameters tables already have one record defined for the local site. Because the record already exists, it will not be created at other sites through normal replication. Repopulating the tables ensures that a parameter record for the local site exists at other sites where it is needed.

To populate the _all tables in the local site, which is usually done only during multi-site setup:

  1. In the Update _All Tables form, click the Filter-In-Place tool bar button to display all of the available _all  tables.
  2. In the Replication Category list, select Initialize _All Parameters and click Select By Category to select only those parameter tables.
  3. Make sure nothing else is selected (including Disable Replication or a site name).
  4. Click Repopulate Tables to repopulate each selected parameters _all table at the local site and to create or repopulate the local site record at any other sites/entities to which the local site is replicating a category that contains the parameter table.
