host = "127.0.0.1"
database = "mobile"
port = "4984"
ssl = True
directory = os.environ['HOME']
scope = "data"
collections = ["employees", "payroll"]

replicator = Replicator(ReplicatorConfiguration.create(
    database,
    host,
    ReplicatorType.PULL,
    SessionAuth(options.session),
    ssl,
    port,

Sync documents with 3.0 and earlier protocol (all documents in the _default scope and collection).

blipctl -n 127.0.0.1 -d database -t 9ec978de8f0fc172708cdbb9fc3f903a882883ec -f -D /home/sync/tests/output/ --ssl

Use new 3.1 and later style with scopes and collections.

blipctl -n 127.0.0.1 -d database -t 1eaccb9f9dc219a1b5d18e18e7f3d058efd1e9ff -s scope -c collection1,collection2,collection3 -f -D /home/sync/tests/output/ --ssl

./sgwcli auth session -h 127.0.0.1 -n database -U sgw@user --ssl
