ufobat commented on issue #346: _replicate vs _replication API endpoints
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/issues/346#issuecomment-434711304
 
 
   
   FYI
   ```
   <vatamane> ufobat: try checking  _scheduler/docs/ instead
   <vatamane> _replicate endpoint is to create replications that are not backed by a document from the _replicator database
   <vatamane> also note there is  the http /_replicate endpoint and a _replicator database I think you might be confusing the two
   <ufobat> vatamane, when if i only use _replicator db? 
   <ufobat> i can POST and GET from there?
   <ufobat> i just care about the configruation, not of the replication results/states
   <vatamane> you can create replications by creating documents in the _replicator database
   <ufobat> vatamane, i actually did :-( 
   <vatamane> these replication will persist even after a server is restarted (unlike replication from the _replicate endpoint)
   <vatamane> to check the status of your replication try http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/server/common.html#scheduler-docs
   <ufobat> because of my confusion i wrote https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/issues/346
   <vatamane> thanks ufobat, I'll update the ticket with more info
   <ufobat> is the scheduler-doc information about which documents in which db where replicated?
   <ufobat> my db is currently empty
   <vatamane> _scheduler/doc allows you to track the state of replications which are backed by a document in a _replicator database
   <ufobat> ah and _scheduler/jobs is for the _replicate api?
   <vatamane> _scheduler/jobs tracks replication jobs that started broth from the _replicate endpoint and by creating documents in the _replicator db
   <ufobat> and this applys also if i have a "custom_replicator" database, because docs says i could use one ( which would fit perfectly for my script approach, cause i wouldnt see other replications that dont belong to me)
   <vatamane> you could use one, yeah, any database that end with the /_replicator suffix will work as a replicator db
   <vatamane> when you query _scheduler/docs you'd have to pass that database name in the path explicitly like say _scheduler/docs/mycustom/_replicator
   <ufobat> i think thats missin in the documentation as well
   ```
