Release 10.1B: Progress Fathom Replication
User Guide


Agent failure recovery

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

If the Fathom 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 Fathom Replication agent will continue to wait for connection until 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.
