This section is for informational purposes only as the Dbvisit Replicate setup wizard creates the necessary scripts for starting the replication.
Start the Dbvisit Replicate Command Console with the correct DDC file: |
On Windows:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| Start > Dbvisit Replicate Command Console
dbvrep> readddc w112a.ddc |
OR Start a Windows command prompt and type: |
|
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep.exe --ddcfile w112a.ddc |
|
|
On Linux/Unix:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep --ddcfile w112a.ddc |
|
|
...
Where w112a.ddc is an example name of a DDC file |
|
...
Once the Dbvisit Replicate Command Console has been started the mine, fetcher (optional) and apply processes can be started.
Starting the mine process
On Windows:
On Windows, the Dbvisit Replicate can be started as a local service.
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep> start_service mine |
|
|
This starts the Windows service. If the service is not yet created, the service can be created with:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep> create service mine |
|
|
On Linux/Unix:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep --ddcfile w112a.ddc –-daemon start mine |
|
|
The –daemon option makes dbvrep disconnect from the console and run in the background. No further commands can be entered. This option is not available on Windows, as similar functionality will be provided by support of Windows services.
To see the progress of the replication, start a new Dbvisit Replicate Command Console and load the same DDC file.
Starting the apply process
On Windows:
On Windows, the Dbvisit Replicate can be started as a local service.
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep> start_service apply |
|
|
This starts the Windows service. If the service is not yet created, the service can be created with:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep> create service apply |
|
|
On Linux/Unix:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep --ddcfile w112a.ddc –-daemon start apply |
|
|
The –daemon option makes dbvrep disconnect from the console and run in the background. No further commands can be entered.
To see the progress of the replication, start a new Dbvisit Replicate Command Console and load the same DDC file. See Viewing the status of the replication for more information.
Stopping the replication process
To stop or shutdown the replication process:
| Section |
|---|
| Column |
|---|
| | Panel |
|---|
| dbvrep> shutdown all |
|
|
This will stop all the replication processes including mine, apply and fetcher (if started).
