About this task

To add an upstream source for the current table:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Control System and go to the Replication tab in the table information page.
  2. Click Add Upstream Source Table in the Upstream Sources pane.
    The Add Upstream Source Table window displays.
  3. Enter the path to the upstream source table.
    • For a path on the local cluster, start the path at the volume mount point. For example, for a table named testsrc under volume1 which has a mount point at /volume1, specify the following path: /volume1/testsrc
