Creating Empty Master Replicates

You can create an empty master replicate by using the --empty option. This option allows you to specify a participant as the basis of the master replicate but not include that participant in the replicate. Creating an empty replicate can be convenient in large environments in which you later add all participants using scripts.

When you define an empty master replicate, you must specify only one participant in the cdr define replicate command. This participant is used to create the master dictionary information but is not added to the replicate.

The --empty option is only supported for master replicates, you cannot use it without the --master option.
