Please give an example of replicating a remote database from Bluemix.

Solution

  • If you want to replicate from a remote target into a local database, your Database URL will be:

    https://$remote_username:$remote_password@$remote_username.cloudant.com/$remote_database

    E.g. 

    https://f39c45g0-bluemix:[email protected]/the_remote_database

    You can find more information here: https://developer.ibm.com/clouddataservices/cloudant-replication/

    NOTE: I'm assuming you didn't post your actual credentials, if you did you should at least change your passwords.
