Administering Satellites Guide and Reference

Additional Considerations

The sections that follow provide additional information, including how to override how the asnsat command invokes the Capture and Apply programs, and replication restrictions that apply in the satellite environment.

Modifying Capture and Apply Program Parameters

The generalize replication subscription function inserts a batch step in the update batch of the application version to call the Capture and Apply programs from the asnsat. The command is inserted in the batch step with the optimized parameters for the Capture and Apply programs in the satellite environment. In some situations, these parameters may not be appropriate for your environment.

The default parameters for the Capture program are: WARM, PRUNE, NOTRCTBL, LOGREUSE, LOGSTDOUT, NOTRCTBL, TRCFILE, and AUTOSTOP. The default parameters for the Apply program are: NOINAM, NOTRC, NONOTIFY, LOGREUSE, LOGSTDOUT, TRLREUSE, TRCFILE, COPYONCE, and LOADX. You can override these parameters by editing the batch step that contains the asnsat command.

For more information about the asnsat command, and its invocation parameters for the Capture and Apply programs, refer to the Replication Guide and Reference.

Restrictions

Restrictions for the satellite environment are as follows:

• The enhanced level of conflict detection is not supported. If you specify the enhanced level, the Apply program assumes a standard level of conflict detection.
• The compiled ASNLOAD exit routine works only if your target definitions match your source definitions. Parameters such as number of columns, name of columns, type, and length must be exactly the same for both your target and source. If your target definitions do not match your source definitions, you need to customize and recompile the ASNLOAD sample source code or use the NOLOADX option. If your ASNLOAD exit routine requires a password, you must provide a replication password file.

  Note:

  The replication password file is not the same file as the satadmin.aut file on the satellite. For more information about the replication password file, refer to the Replication Guide and Reference.
