Replicating on demand

The replication-on-demand feature enables you to request replication at any time. It is an alternative to setting replication to automatically run at regular intervals.

When the Sync Server servlet starts, the initial replication takes place as usual. Subsequent replications can be requested by using the dsyreplicate command.

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply:

• If the dsyreplicate command must be issued from a machine different than the one that the Sync Server servlet runs on, both machines need to be configured to use the same Sync Server control database (DSYCTLDB).
• The dsyreplicate command must be issued for each mirror database.
• If a mirror database uses a DataPropogator subscription, the command must be issued on the same machine where the mirror database resides.

Procedure

1. Open a DB2 UDB command window.
2. On Windows, change to %DSYINSTDIR%\Server\bin. On UNIX, change to $DSYINSTDIR/Server/bin.
3. Issue the dsyreplicatecommand to request the replication..

   dsyreplicate [-timeout timeout] mirror_database_name
   

   where timeout specifies the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that dsyreplicate will wait for the Sync Servers to quiesce all synchronization activities. It does not specify the time limit for replication. There is no time limit for replication. That is, the more data you have, the longer replication will take.

   For example, dsyreplicate m_vnurse

   Uwaga:

   The default timeout is 5 seconds.

4. Close the DB2 command window.
