Writing all the steps is going to be very long.
I'm sure LS Retail would have a demo script that you can follow.

I would suggest using one sql and one native server. It will make the setup easier.

The only difference between two computers and one computer will be the setting the Distribution location to point to one computer. Since one will be sql and one will be native, you won't have to message with services file and install two native service on one computer

thanks a million

I am not very sure but I think you do not need to replicate the sale. I think you may do this by having 2 users one for the store and one for the headoffice. Retail is controlled by the retail user set up.

thx...but actually client wants to see the replication process....instead of setting up two pcs i was wondering if i can show him by setting up two servers on on one laptop....

Buddy,

You can also show then one company as HO & onother as Store in the Same Database.

When you are looking for a NAV based solution for retailers, consider RETAILIUM.

Last year, we realized dozens of projects with this NAV certified Add-On.
Soon, we will launch a 'Entrepreneur' version. mailto m.hurk@retailium.com for more information.

If you want two servers on one laptop use virtual pc or virtual server. Config is very straight forward and save them at different points for easy reinstall.

Huh...lost of sugesstions....one from my side....

In the laptop that you want to show follow this steps.

1. Install 2 db servers
2. Install LS Retail
3. Crete 2 DD Servers register them and start them.
4. Create the Distrubutiuon location for the two databases(after you are done with the setup).
5. Test the connection for the same and then replicate.

Instead of installing DD. You may also used the normal replication (this one do not used DD or Data Director). To setup this select the codeunit 99001484 istead of 99001466.

B. create DD_ST.add,register and next and here change the port 17750 or something else instead of 16750.next next ... and
Run both DD



3. Go to host file and mention both DD.
Example...

Machine IP DD_HO //for HO
Machine IP DD_ST //for Store


4. Go to service file and mention port
Example.......

What we have done in the past is to create 2 classic DB services, running on different ports.
Then we set-up 2 DD services to talk to the 2 databases

Abhishek instructions are very good.

If you would like something more formal, the LS documentation on the LS partner site has complete instructions.
