Resetting the replication mode

If you set the replication mode incorrectly when you configure a client node with data that was exported and imported, you must remove the client node from replication before reconfiguring the node.

About this task

For example, suppose that you updated the definition of a client node whose data you wanted to replicate. The data that belongs to the node was previously exported from the source replication server and imported to the target replication server. You specified ENABLED as the setting of the REPLSTATE parameter. However, you did not specify SYNCSEND as the replication mode on the source replication server. As a result, the REPLMODE parameter was automatically set to SEND, and data that belongs to the node was not synchronized or replicated.

Procedure

To reconfigure the client node for replication, complete the following steps:

  1. Issue the REMOVE REPLNODE command for the client node. For example, to remove a client node, NODE1, from replication, issue the following command:
    remove replnode node1

    Issuing the REMOVE REPLNODE command resets the replication state and the replication mode for the client node to NONE.

  2. Issue the UPDATE NODE command with the correct parameters and values. For example, to enable NODE1 for replication and synchronize the data that belongs to the node, complete the following steps:
    1. On the source replication server, issue the following command:
      update node node1 replstate=enabled replmode=syncsend
    2. On the target replication server, issue the following command:
      update node node1 replstate=enabled replmode=syncreceive

Results

After synchronization and replication are complete, the REPLMODE parameter in the client node definition on the source replication server is set to SEND. The REPLMODE parameter in the client node definition on the target replication server is set to RECEIVE.
