Description
|
|
|
Specifies a comma-separated list of OpenEdge Replication agent names. The comma must be followed by a space. The agent name must match the control agent name specified in the [control-agent] properties section head.
ALL is not allowed as an agent name. Each agent must have a unique name.
|
|
|
Specifies the source database name.
|
|
|
Specifies for how long, in minutes, the server attempts to connect to an agent if the first connection attempt is unsuccessful.
minutes is a value>= 0 and <= 10080.
|
|
|
Specifies the maximum value, in milliseconds, for a polling delay.
By default, the polling delay starts at 5 ms and automatically increases during periods of inactivity to a maximum of 500 ms.
milliseconds is a value >500 and <1000.
|
|
|
Specifies the minimum value, in milliseconds, for a polling delay.
By default, the polling delay starts at 5 ms and automatically increases during periods of inactivity to a maximum of 500 ms.
milliseconds is a value >=1 and <=10.
|
|
|
Specifies a time-out period for communications between a server and its agents. If a connection between the server and agent is not verified before the time-out expires, failure recovery begins.
By default, this property is enabled and has a value of 300 seconds. The minimum value is 60 seconds; there is no maximum value.
|
|
|
Specifies the action an agent takes if an exclusive schema lock is not granted.
Possible actions are:
wait — The agent waits until the exclusive schema lock is granted. The server blocks until the exclusive schema lock is granted.
force — The agent attempts to acquire the exclusive schema lock five times. If the fifth attempt fails, the agent disconnects all users from the target and makes another attempt. If the last attempt fails, the server and all agents terminate. When schema update activity completes, the server and target can be restarted.
Note: Values are case-sensitive. Use wait or force , but not Wait or Force .
|
|
|
Specifies the action an agent takes during a shutdown when the replication server ends.
Possible actions are:
recovery — The agent will remain active but in a standby state waiting for the replication server to reconnect.
normal — The agent will terminate; the target database will stay up.
|
|
|
Specifies how to transition the target database to a normal database.
If a synchronous agent or an asynchronous critical agent cannot reconnect with the source database within the time specified in the transition-timeout property, the following will occur:
auto —The agent automatically transitions the target database.
manual —The agent listens for the server until it reconnects with the source database or the DSRUTIL command is executed. The DSRUTIL db-name -C transition command transitions the target database.
Note: Values are case-sensitive. Use auto or manual, but not Auto or Manual.
|
|
|
Specifies the number of seconds the target database waits before it performs auto-transition. This property is ignored when transition=manual .
The value is incremented by the sum of the connect-timeout for all configured agents.
