Performing a synchronization (dosynchronize) v7

Suggest edits

The dosynchronize command performs synchronization replication on the specified subscription for a single-master replication system or for an entire multi-master replication system.

Synopsis

-dosynchronize { subname | pubname }
  -repsvrfile { subsvrfile | pubsvrfile }
[ -repgrouptype { s | m } ]
For a single-master replication system use:
-dosynchronize subname –repsvrfile subsvrfile

For a multi-master replication system use:

-dosynchronize pubname -repsvrfile pubsvrfile -repgrouptype m

Note

For SMR only: You can use the dosynchronize command on a subscription without first having to perform a snapshot using the dosnapshot command. The dosynchronize command automatically performs the first required snapshot.

Note

For MMR only: Be sure an initial snapshot replication was performed from the primary definition node to every other primary node in the multi-master replication system. If a newly added primary node didn't undergo an initial snapshot, any later synchronization replication might not apply the transactions to that primary node. You can take the initial snapshot when you add the primary node (see Creating more primary nodes or Adding a publication database). Alternatively, you can perform an on-demand snapshot (see Performing snapshot replication or Take a multi-master snapshot).

See Performing synchronization replication for more information on performing synchronization replication for a single-master replication system. See Performing synchronization replication for a multi-master replication system.

Parameters

subname

For SMR only: The name of the subscription for which to perform synchronization replication.

pubname

For MMR only: The name of the publication for which to perform synchronization replication.

subsvrfile

For SMR only: The file containing the subscription server login information.

pubsvrfile

For MMR only: The file containing the publication server login information.

-repgrouptype

Specify s if this command applies to a single-master replication system. Specify m if this command applies to a multi-master replication system. The default is s.

Examples

This example performs synchronization replication on subscription dept_emp_sub of a single-master replication system.

$ java -jar edb-repcli.jar -dosynchronize dept_emp_sub \
>   -repsvrfile ~/subsvrfile.prop
Performing synchronize...
Synchronize done successfully.

This example performs synchronization replication on publication emp_pub of a multi-master replication system. The -repgrouptype m parameter is required in this case.

$ java -jar edb-repcli.jar -dosynchronize emp_pub \
>   -repsvrfile ~/pubsvrfile.prop -repgrouptype m
Performing synchronize...
Publication synchronized successfully.
