Release 10.1B: Progress Fathom Replication
User Guide


Shutting down the source database

This section describes how to perform both a non-forced and a forced shutdown of your source database.

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

proshut source-db-name -by 

The following actions occur:

  1. All processes other than the broker and the Fathom Replication server are shut down.
  2. The broker flushes all database activity.
  3. After the AI buffers are flushed, the Fathom Replication server processes them.
  4. When the Fathom Replication server completes processing, it instructs the Fathom Replication agent to end processing.
  5. When the Fathom Replication server completes its shutdown process, shutdown of the database completes.

To specify a forced shutdown, enter the following command:

proshut source-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 databases are not considered identical. At this point, Fathom Replication performs the steps in the "Fathom Replication startup and initialization process" section to restart it.
