Hi Garren,
1. Looking at replication, and as we discussed, we should combine the "New
remote database" and "Existing remote database" options into a single "A remote
database" option. We can't currently validate that a "new" database doesn't
already exist, and back out of the replication process.
2. After chatting about the remote source/target issues, I think we should
clarify our examples. I don't want to clutter up the page with too much text,
but I think we should do some handholding here, just to clarify. I propose that
we simplify the URL example to:
Example: https://$USERNAME:$PASSWORD@$REMOTE_SERVER/$DATABASE
and then add a ? icon to the "Example:" label with the following
explanatory text:
"If you have username and password for the remote account, use the remote
username and remote password.
If your local account has permissions on the remote database, you can use
your local username and local password.
If the remote database has granted permissions to "everybody," you do not
need to include a username and password."
