The top par t of the Replication view describes the database replication.

Table 34 Database Replication features

Feature

Description

Local Server/Source

Server

The replication and primary systems if you are logged into the replicated

system.

Local Server/Target

Server

The primary and replication systems if you are lo gged into the primary

system.

Replication Set

A set is made of one or more db2 tables that replicated.

Inbound Sync

Time/Outbound Sync

Time

The time at which the d atabase tables in the replication set got last

synchronized. The synchronization time is displayed in two colors: green

and red. Green means that the database tables on the primar y and

replica DB2 have been synchronized successfully within the last 30

minutes. Red means that the synchronization has not happened for 30

minutes or more; this could indicate a db2 replication issue and you

should contact HP technical support for advice.

Inbound Sta

tus/

Outbound St

atus

The replication status on the replicated and primary systems.

(Re-)Initializing db2 replication

Follow the steps below to initialize or re-initialize db2 replication:

1. Stop the RISS applications on the primary and replica:

PCC on primary: /opt/bin/stop

PCC on replica: /opt/bin/stop

2. Unconﬁgure db2 replication on p rimary/replica:

DB2 on replica: /opt/bin/repl/dbRepl rm

DB2 on primary: /opt/bin/repl/dbRepl rm

3. Restart db2 on prima ry/replica:

DB2 on primary: /etc/init.d/db2_app start

DB2 on replica: /etc/init.d/db2_app start

4. Re-initialize db2 replication on primary/replica:

DB2 on primary: /opt/bin/repl/dbRepl init

DB2 on replica: /opt/bin/repl/dbRepl init

5. Wait for the replication process to complete (this can take anywhere between a few minutes to an

hour or more depending on the size of the db2 database and the bandwith of the network bet ween

the two RISSes):

DB2 on replica: /opt/bin/repl/dbRepl status -brief -force

Look for the message "Replication is active." Re-issue the command every few minutes until this message

is returned, or while you see the m essage Refresh is in-progress.

6. Once replication is successfully initialized, restart the applications on primary/replica:

PCC on primary: /opt/bin/start

PCC on replica: /opt/bin/start
