The prepare command connects to a running apply APPLY and mine MINE process and instructs them to replicate the schema/table. This is the default command that should be used when preparing new tables.
If the mine MINE and apply APPLY process have a slow network connection between them, consider using PREPARE OFFILE.

PREPARE OFFLINE cannot be used while apply APPLY and mine MINE are running. Pausing and then resuming the processes is not sufficient neither. |
The advantage with PREPARE OFFLINE is when there is a slow network between the mine MINE and apply APPLY process and timeouts can occur if a connection has to be made to both mine MINE and apply APPLY to instruct them to replicate the new object.
