Release 10.1B: OpenEdge Replication
User Guide


Agent failure recovery

Transition is the action that the OpenEdge Replication agent performs after a communication failure has occurred with the OpenEdge Replication server. Within the transition-timeout value (as defined in source-db-name.repl.properties, the OpenEdge Replication server properties file), the OpenEdge Replication agent listens for connection requests from the OpenEdge Replication server. After connection is established, the OpenEdge Replication server and OpenEdge Replication agent perform synchronization. Once synchronization is complete, normal operations resume.

If the OpenEdge Replication agent does not receive a communication attempt within the transition-timeout value, and auto-transition has been configured, the target database is transitioned into a normal OpenEdge database. If manual transition has been configured, the OpenEdge Replication agent will continue to wait for connection until either manual transition is performed using the DSRUTIL utility or the database is shut down. For more information about the DSRUTIL utility, see the "DSRUTIL utility" section.
