Synchronizing a replicate set

Synchronize data among replication servers to repair inconsistent data within a replicate set.

To synchronize a replicate set:

  1. On the menu of the HCL OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix®, expand Replication, and then click Replicates.
  2. Click the Replicate Sets tab.
  3. Click the replicate set in the table. To view the replicates in the set, expand the replicate set name.
  4. On the Actions menu, click Check or Sync Replicate Set.
  5. Enter a name to identify the task so that you can monitor it on the Task Status page.
  6. Select Sync.
  7. Optional: To increase the amount of memory that the send queue can use during synchronization, select Set the size of the send queue and specify the size.
  8. For Frequency, specify when to perform the action. The default is Immediately, when you click Finish.
  9. Optional: Select the options to limit the number of rows to check by time period.
  10. Select a Reference server to use as the reference copy of the data.
  11. Specify how to handle rows on the target servers that are not on the reference server. The default is Delete: Remove the extra rows from the target servers.
  12. Specify how to handle triggers at the target servers while synchronizing the data. The default is Off: Do not fire triggers at target servers during synchronization.
  13. Specify how to handle disabled replication servers while repairing the data. The default is Do not enable replication.
  14. Specify the number of processes to use. For best performance, choose the maximum number of processes. This number is either the number of available virtual processors or the number of replicates in the replicate set, whichever is smaller.
  15. Specify the target servers to synchronize.

    To monitor the progress of the task and to see the consistency report, click the Task Status tab.
