RDOHELP72.HLB  —  Replication Option, DEFINE_TRANSFER, Format  REPLICATION
    Specifies that Replication Option create a replication database
    at the target site. When a replication transfer executes,
    Replication Option creates a database at the target site
    during the initial execution and maintains a connection to that
    target database so the source can supply updates to the target.
    Subsequent transfers involve only those modifications that have
    been made to the selected records in the source database. (If the
    target and source database should become inconsistent with each
    other, you can use the REINITIALIZE TRANSFER statement to restore
    consistency.)

    In addition, the execution of a replication transfer generally
    creates special-purpose relations in the source database and the
    target database to handle updating. Because the source database
    is modified with the addition of these system relations, the
    transfer definer's account needs the DEFINE access right to the
    source database itself.

    Users are expected to access the replication target database
    only to retrieve data. Applications should not attempt to store,
    modify, or erase values in records of the replication database.
    Although data values should not be manipulated in a replication
    database, you can modify the target database by defining views
    and indexes, and adding access rights.
