dmterminate - Terminate CDC Replication processes

Use this command to terminate all CDC Replication processes for all instances running on a UNIX or Linux® server that you cannot completely shut down with the dmshutdown command.

Note: This command is only supported on the UNIX and Linux platforms.

CDC Replication terminates only processes that are started by the UNIX account used to run this command.

You can use this command prior to taking a server or database offline for maintenance purposes or upgrading CDC Replication to the latest version.

Use the dmshutdown command to gracefully shut down CDC Replication. If dmshutdown is unable to completely shut down CDC Replication, then use dmterminate to terminate any active CDC Replication processes that still remain after issuing dmshutdown.
