Resynchronizing Individual Tables or Files Offline
3. Restart RDF.
At this point, all other volumes in the RDF configuration are still being protected. When
it is subsequently convenient to do so, do the following:
1. Stop your applications and TMF (to ensure you will get clean copies of the tables or
files without missing any updates generated by your applications).
2. Make a copy of the tables and files that reside on the particular volume.
3. Restart TMF on the primary system.
4. Wait for RDF to shut down (as the result of the TMF shutdown in Step 1).
5. Copy the table or file to the appropriate volume on the backup system.
6. Add the volume back to the RDF configuration.
7. Restart RDF and your applications.
Resynchronizing Individual Tables or Files Offline
If you are sure that only certain database tables or files might not be synchronized, all
you need to do is synchronize those tables or files.
To resynchronize an individual table or file, do as follows:
1. Stop your applications and TMF (to ensure you will get clean copies of the tables or
files without missing any updates generated by your applications).
2. Make a copy of the tables or files.
3. Restart TMF on the primary system.
4. Wait for RDF to shut down (as the result of the TMF shutdown in Step 1).
5. Copy the tables or files to the appropriate volume on the backup system.
6. Restart RDF and your applications.
