Establishing the simulated connection
After you have created a replication set, you can establish the simulated connection through the Connection Manager by
connecting the replication set to the TDU.
1. Opening the Connection Manager to establish the connection.
 Highlight the replication set and select Tools, Connection Manager.
 Right-click on the replication set and select Connection Manager.
2. The Connection Manager opens to the Servers tab. Depending on how you opened the Connection Manager, some
entries on the
Servers tab will be completed already. For example, if you accessed the Connection Manager by
right-clicking on a replication set, the name of the replication set will be displayed in the Connection Manager. Verify or
complete the fields on the
Servers tab.
 Source Server—Specify the source server that contains the replication set that is going to be simulated to the TDU.
 Replication Set—At least one replication set must exist on the source before establishing a connection. Specify
the replication set that will be connected to the TDU.
 Target Server—Select the Diagnostics target.
 Route—After selecting the Diagnostics target, the Route will automatically be populated with Throughput
Diagnostics Utility (TDU).
 Mappings—Mappings are not required when simulating a connection because no data is actually transmitted to the
target.
 Start Mirror on Connection—Make sure this option is selected so that your simulation will be realistic.
 Start Replication on Connection—Make sure this option is selected so that your simulation will be realistic.
 Block Target Path(s) on Connection—This option is irrelevant when simulating a connection because no data is
actually transmitted to the targt.
3. Click Connect to establish the connection.
