Release 10.1C: OpenEdge Replication:
User Guide


Setting up the target database

You must restore your backup of the source database to use as your target database.

To create the target database:

  1. Copy the structure file (.st) from the source database to the target machine.
  2. This structure file lists the physical structure of the source database. If the physical structure of your target database is different (for example, there are different drives, slices, or directories) you must edit the structure file to accurately describe the physical structure of the target database.

  3. Restore the backup copy of the source database on the target machine by entering this command:
  4. prorest target-db-name source-db-backup-name 
    

    For more information on backing up and restoring a database, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .

  5. If the database is not online, restore the incremental backup of your source database on the target machine. For example:
  6. prorest target-db-name source-db-incrementalbackup-name  
    

For more information on restoring incremental backups, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .

Enabling the target database for OpenEdge Replication
