Stopping the CDC Replication Engine for Informix® (UNIX and Linux)

It may be necessary to stop CDC Replication when you want to change the configuration settings, take a server or database offline for maintenance purposes, or if you want to upgrade CDC Replication. You can use the configuration tool or commands to stop CDC Replication.

Procedure

  1. End replication on all subscriptions in Management Console.
  2. Depending on how you want to stop CDC Replication, issue one of the following stop commands in the bin directory in your CDC Replication installation directory:
    Option Description
    dmshutdown [-I <instance_name>] Use this command to gracefully shut down CDC Replication.

    If you have multiple active CDC Replication installations on the same UNIX or Linux® server, and you want to shut them all down, run this command from the installation directory for each CDC Replication instance.
    dmterminate [-L <locale>]

    Use this command to terminate all processes for all instances running on a UNIX or Linux server.

    Use this command when you cannot completely shut down CDC Replication using the dmshutdown command.
