Microsoft Jet 3.0 introduced database replication as a service. With replication, it is possible to create and maintain replicas of databases at multiple sites and synchronize these databases at regular intervals. Microsoft Jet 3.5 added support for creating partial replicas and synchronizing over the Internet or an intranet. The following table describes components that provide replication services.
Component | Description |
MSRepl35.dll | Provides the main replication services, including creation of replicable databases and replica reconciliation. |
MSRclr35.dll | Provides reconciliation services for the Microsoft Windows 95 Briefcase component. |
MSTran35.exe and MSTrani35.exe | Physically moves data between file systems or between the file system and the Internet or intranet during synchronization. |
ReplMan.exe | Provides a user interface (Microsoft Replication Manager) for various replication services. This component currently ships with Microsoft Office 97, Developer Edition. |
