Introduction

Welcome to DATABridge Client!

DATABridge is a combination of host software and optional client software that provides automated replication of DMSII databases and flat files. All replications occur while the DMSII database is active. After the initial clone, DATABridge updates the secondary database, copying only the DMSII data changes from the audit trail.

Command Line vs. Service Controlled Client Operations

The DATABridge Client provides two modes of operation. You can run the Client from the Client Console where the service automates much of replication process. Or you can run the Client from a command prompt or a terminal session using the dbutility program. For a comparison of these two modes of operation, see Comparing the Service to Command Line Operations.

This guide is intended primarily for the command-line Client.

For more information about running service-controlled Client operations, see Using the Console and Service or refer to the Help in the DATABridge Client Console.
