Displays number of tables in each monitoring group – to be determined by the client. Groups are table sets that share the same log reader thread. It is more efficient to check for changes once for a group of tables than to log in for each table individually. Also, the changes for all the tables in a group are processed in the same order as they appear in the transaction log. This is useful when there are referential constrains between tables. Each group runs in a single thread mode with one table refreshing at a time. Default value is 50.

If enabled, the Syniti Data Replication packages automatically start executing after the build process completes.
