    • Replicate updated data on a consumer instance to the producer instance using bidirectional replication in Instance Data Replication (IDR).

    Before you begin

    Role required: idr_admin or admin

    Procedure

    1. On the producer instance, navigate to Instance Data Replication > Producer Replication Sets:
      • Click New for a new replication set
      • Click on a producer replication set.
    2. Check the Bi-Directional checkbox to enable bi-direction for your producer replication set.
      Bi-directional replication enables changes to records that are made on the consumer instance to propagate to the producer instance.
      Note:
      Bi-directional replication works for records that originate on the producer or consumer.
    3. On a consumer instance, navigate to Instance Data Replication > Consumer Replication Sets and click a consumer replication set that is connected to the producer replication set.
    4. On the Consumer Replication Set pane, click the Synchronize Replication Entries related link to update the Consumer Replication Entries configuration on the consumer to match the configuration on the producer.

    Result

    Data that is updated on this consumer instance automatically replicates on the producer instance, which then replicates the updates to its other consumer instances.
