Updating host names and port changes for source datastores and associated subscriptions

If you have changed the host name or port for a source datastore, you need to ensure the existing subscriptions associated with the datastore can map to the new datastore configuration information.

About this task

Existing subscriptions for the datastore must map appropriately to the new host name or port, or you may not be able to connect to the datastore or replicate data to the target datastore. The source subscription configuration can optionally identify the host name that is used to select the network interface used by CDC Replication. When you change the host name for the source machine and update the datastore definition in Access Manager, the subscription itself may still reference the old host name or port. To resolve this, change the source subscriptions so that the datastore is associated with the new host name and port.

Procedure

  1. Restart Access Server to ensure there are no users logged in.
  2. Start Management Console and log into Access Server.
    Note: If you use the auto-connect feature for connecting to datastores, turn it off by clicking Edit > Preferences > Connect, and disabling Connect to Datastores Automatically prior to connecting to Access Server.
  3. Click Access Manager > Datastore Management.
  4. Right-click the datastore and select Properties.
  5. Update the Host Name and Port fields for the datastore.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click File > Access Server > Disconnect to log off Access Server.
  8. Click File > Access Server > Connect and log back into Access Server.
  9. Click Configuration > Datastores.
  10. Connect to the source datastore by right-click it and selecting Connect.
  11. Right-click the subscription from the Subscriptions perspective, and select Properties.
  12. Click Advanced Settings.
  13. Verify that the value in the TCP Host field. If it identifies the old host name, select Auto-Select and then click OK.
  14. Click OK.
  15. If this datastore is also the target for subscriptions, follow the steps to update related subscriptions in Updating host names and port changes for target datastores and associated subscriptions.
