Changing the master replicate server

Modify a replicate to change the server group that is the basis of the master replicate.

Prerequisite: With the Modify Replicate action, you can modify a strict master replicate and its participants. A master replicate verifies that replicated tables on different servers have consistent column data types. A strict master replicate also verifies that the replicated tables have identical column names.

The master replicate server must be a participant in the replicate.

To change the master replicate server:

  1. On the menu of the HCL OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix®, expand Replication, and then click Replicates.
  2. Click the Replicates tab.
  3. On the Actions menu, click Modify Replicate.

    The list displays the server groups in the domain with the participants in bold.

  4. Click the icon next to the Master replicate server list.
  5. In the Master replicate server list, select the server group.
  6. Optional: To automatically create tables on the target server that exist on the master replicate server but not on the target server, select Create missing tables on target servers.

    Tables that will be created are displayed in italics in the list.

  7. Optional: To add a participant:
    1. In the list, expand the server group and the database to display the table name.
    2. Click the table name to select it as a participant. When a table is selected, it is bold.
    3. Specify the participant type: primary or receive-only. The default is primary: the participant both sends and receives data. To change the option, click the icon.
    4. Specify which privileges are used to apply the replicated data. The default is table owner. To change the option, click the icon.
  8. To modify the replicate, click Finish.

    The options that you selected and the results of the action are displayed.
