Figure 18 Sample Bi-directional Recovery Groups
Enter data in Section 2 as follows:
1. Enter a name for the recovery group following the RECOVERY_GROUP_NAME keyword. This
can be any name you choose.
2. After the PRIMARY_PACKAGE keyword, enter a primary package definition consisting of the
cluster name followed by a slash (/) followed by the package name. Example:
PRIMARY_PACKAGE LAcluster/custpkg
3. Optionally, enter a data sender package definition consisting of the cluster name, a slash (/),
and the data sender package name after the DATA_SENDER_PACKAGE keyword. This is only
necessary if you are using a logical data replication method that requires a data sender
package.
4. After the RECOVERY_PACKAGE keyword, enter a recovery package definition consisting of
the cluster name followed by a slash (/) followed by the package name. Example:
RECOVERY_PACKAGE NYcluster/custpkg_bak
5. Optionally, enter a data receiver package definition consisting of the cluster name, a slash
(/), and the data receiver package name after the DATA_RECEIVER_PACKAGE keyword.
This is only necessary if using a logical data replication method that requires a data receiver
package.
6. Optionally, enter a rehearsal package definition consisting of the cluster name, a slash (/),
and the rehearsal package name after the REHEARSAL_PACKAGE keyword. This is only
required for performing a rehearsal operation at the recovery cluster.
7. Repeat these steps for each package that will be recovered. Each package must be configured
in a separate recovery group.
