● Receiving data changes from other database instances involved in the synchronization

### Prerequisites

● You have started the message server.

● You are logged on to the computer with the database instance <database_name> that is to participate in the synchronization.

### Starting the Synchronization Service

Enter the following command for every database instance that you want to participate in the synchronization:
