With this feature, POM can be configured to retrieve reports from a replicated database. This reduces the load on the primary database, since POM can fetch reports from the replicated database.

The replicated database is of the same type as the POM database and has the same information as the POM database. The replicated database is of the same version of the POM database and has the same schema.

Using a separate database for POM reports is optional. You can configure a separate database for reports from the Global Configurations page (refer the topic Reporting Settings in the Global Configurations page field descriptions in the POM Administering guide) as well as through the installDB tool (refer the topic Configuring separate database for POM Reports in the POM Implementing guide).

By default, the reports are fetched from the database to which POM is currently connected.
