Viewing conflicts report

During rejoin of isolated read-write master to the cluster, its data is analyzed for conflicts with the data of primary master of the cluster. Conflicts must be resolved before the isolated read-write master data is merged with the primary database. You can view the list of conflicts to analyze and resolve the problems. You can export the conflicts data in comma-separated value (CSV) format.

1. Go to the appropriate page.

   Graphical user interface

   1. Log on to the graphical user interface of isolated read-write master.
   2. Click the Join back this master to Multi-Master cluster link in the notification area on the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager welcome page.
   3. On the Confirm dialog, read the confirmation message before you rejoin master to the cluster.
   4. Click OK to run the rejoin process.

   REST interface

   1. Open a REST client.
   2. Obtain a unique user authentication identifier to access IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager REST services. For more information about the authentication process, see Authentication process for REST services.

      Content-Type: application/json
      Accept : application/json
