Baseline Primary Configurations where this base database is the primary site that replicates baselines to replica sites.
Baseline Replica Configurations where this base database is the recipient of baseline replications.
Request Primary Configurations where this base database is the primary site that replicates requests to replica sites.
Request Replica Configurations where this base database is the recipient of request replications.

To display a list of the configurations for the selected filter option, click the top-level Configurations icon.

To view the details of a configuration and its replica sites, click the specific Configuration ID node.

Replication Configurations content area

When you select the top-level Configurations icon in the navigation pane, the content pane displays a list of configurations. In the list, you can:
