Method 4: Replicating all nodes

Use this method if you determine you have time for the initial replication process to complete, and you can configure the nodes and begin or schedule a replication.

1. Configure all nodes that must be replicated by issuing the UPDATE NODE command and specify the REPLSTATE=ENABLED parameter.
2. Issue the REPLICATE NODE command to start replication processing.
3. Monitor the progress of the replication by issuing the QUERY PROCESS command. Summary information is displayed, which includes the amount of data that is replicated and the process duration.
   Remember: If you do not have time to complete replication, you can cancel it after it has started, by issuing the CANCEL REPLICATION command.
4. Use the summary information to determine whether the values of the controlled test match the actual replication values. You calculate the values of the controlled test in Tuning replication processing. For example, to display information about a replication process 23, issue the following command:

   query process 23

   The following summary information is displayed:

   Process   Process              Status
