Release 10.1C: OpenEdge Replication:
User Guide


Shutting down the target database

You can perform either a non-forced or a forced shutdown of your target database.

To perform a non-forced explicit shutdown, enter the following command:

proshut target-db-name -by 

The following events occur:

  1. All processes other than the broker and the OpenEdge Replication agent are shut down.
  2. The broker flushes all database activity.
  3. After database activity has been flushed to disk, the OpenEdge Replication agent informs the OpenEdge Replication server that it has been shut down. If this is the only OpenEdge Replication agent serviced by the OpenEdge Replication server, the OpenEdge Replication server will shut down. If this OpenEdge Replication agent was configured as a critical OpenEdge Replication agent, even if there are additional OpenEdge Replication agents, the OpenEdge Replication server will shut down.
  4. When the OpenEdge Replication agent has completed its processing, the target database will complete its shutdown.

To perform a forced shutdown, enter the following command:

proshut target-db-name -byF 

The database will immediately shut down with a warning placed in the log file. With a forced shutdown, the AI buffers are not flushed. After a forced shutdown, the source and target database are not considered to be identical. At this point, OpenEdge Replication stops and you must follow the steps in the "OpenEdge Replication startup and initialization process" section to restart it.
