Replication Components

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.
MSRpfs35.dll Interfaces the synchronized databases to the file system.
MSRemr35.dll and MSRecr35.dll Provides international resources and localized strings for the replication components.
