Creating XDCR Replications
To create an XDCR replication, use the POST /controller/createReplication HTTP method and URI.
Description
Data replication occurs from a source cluster to a destination cluster. Once a replication is created, data replication between clusters automatically begins.
Syntax
Curl request syntax:
curl -v -X POST -u [admin]:[password] http://[localhost]:[port]/controller/createReplication -d fromBucket=[bucket-name] -d toCluster=[cluster-name] -d toBucket=[bucket-name] -d replicationType=continuous -d type=[capi | xmem]
The type values, capi and xmem, are represented by version1 and version2 in the web console.
Default: xmem.
Because xmem is the default for Type, this parameter is not required when creating xmem replications.
The replicationType value is always continuous.

Example
Curl request example:
curl -v -X POST -u Administrator:password1 \ http://10.4.2.4:8091/controller/createReplication \ -d 'fromBucket=beer-sample' \ -d 'toCluster=remote1' \ -d 'toBucket=remote_beer' \ -d 'replicationType=continuous' \ -d 'type=capi'
Raw HTTP request:
POST / HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Basic QWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvcjpwYXNzd29yZDE= User-Agent: curl/7.21.4 (universal-apple-darwin11.0) libcurl/7.21.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 Host: 10.4.2.4:8091 Accept: */* Content-Length: 126 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Response
If the replication is created, data replication immediately begins replicating data from the source to destination cluster and a response similar to the following is returned.
{
"id": "9eee38236f3bf28406920213d93981a3/beer-sample/remote_beer"
}
The unique document ID returned in the JSON is a reference that is used to delete the replication.
