Version 12.x and Later

A Replicated Topic in a Solace Message VPN enables messages published in one VPN to be automatically copied to another VPN configured for replication.
This process ensures that messages published in the primary Message VPN are also available in the secondary Message VPN, maintaining data consistency and reliability across both environments.

Replication is primarily used for disaster recovery and high availability, ensuring that message delivery continues seamlessly even if one VPN or site becomes unavailable.

Browse Existing Replicated Topics

In the Message VPNs widget, select the Message VPN you want to view.
From the Selected menu, navigate to:
Browse Objects > Browse Replicated Topics.
The Replicated Topics tab opens in the Console, displaying details of all replicated topics configured for the selected Message VPN. If a replicated topic has not been added to the Message VPN, see the steps below to create one.

Add a New Replicated Topic

In the Replicated Topics tab, click the Add Replicated Topic button.
The Solace Msg Vpn Replicated Topic dialog opens.
Enter the details:
- Topic Name — Enter the name of the topic to be replicated.
- Replication Mode — Specify the replication mode (for example, Synchronous or Asynchronous).
Click Ok to create the replicated topic immediately, or or Schedule to create it at a later time..
(See Scheduling Jobs for more information.)

Once created, the replicated topic appears in the Replicated Topics tab with its configuration details and replication status in the Console.
It begins mirroring messages between the defined VPNs.
