How To Set Up Replication Settings

Description: 

To open Thunder, Replication Settings must be set to point a machine at the Thunder Database. This information may have not been entered before, or this may be the first time a Windows Profile has been logged into a machine.

Steps:

1. Locate the Exchange Agent in the System Tray. Note that it may be hidden in the extended menu, within the "^" symbol 
   
2. Right-click the Exchange Agent and select "Options"
   
3. If on Thunder 2021 or prior versions, jump to that section: HERE, otherwise proceed to Step 4.
4. Once Exchange Agent is open, select the Replication Tab
   
5. Enter in the name of the Thunder server, and click OK. It will autofill the "\COACHINGSOLNS", so just the server name is needed
   

Thunder 2021 and older

1. Select the Replication Tab, it's likely that only the Local Subscription name is filled out. If the name there does not match the name of the computer, Contact Thunder Support
   
   
2. For the Publisher, enter your server name, followed by "\CoachingSolns" (For example, thunderdb\coachingsolns)
   
   
   
3. For Publisher Login, enter:
   UserName: SQLReplicationUser
   Password: Password!
   For Snapshot Login, enter:
   UserName: ReplicationUser
   Password: test
   
4. Press OK and the dialogue box should close. It may take a moment. If you receive any errors, re-enter the info, and contact Thunder Support if it continues to error.
5. If the machine will need to enter Travel Mode and be away from the server at some point, select the "Create" button in the lower left of Replication Window
