Note

To view the conflicts, please see Viewing the conflicts

If the apply was paused due to a conflict, or it is retrying in a loop the same SQL again and again, you can instruct it about what to do next using the command:

...

IGNORE
Skip the change (the conflicting statement is rolled back)
FORCE
Skip the change (the conflicting statement is kept applied) - this is different from IGNORE only if the statement acutally did change something, i.e. only if it updated/deleted more than one row. (For any other conlict: either Oracle rolls the statement back automatically due to an ORA- error or the conflict was 0 rows updated - thus no change was actually done.)
OVERWRITE
Try again, not checking the old (source) values in the where clause. This overwrites the target database with the values from the source database.
RETRY
Try again
ABORT
Abort the apply whole process
RESTART
Rollback and restart the transaction
ROLLBACK
Rollbacks the transaction
IGNOREALL
The current and future conflicts in the same transaction will be resolved as ignore

Listing of the conflict with the LIST CONFLICT command

To see the SQL and other details of the transaction that is causing the conflict:

Panel
bgColorCCC

dbvrep> LIST CONFLICT

or by specifying the actual conflict id

Panel
bgColorCCC

dbvrep> LIST CONFLICT 345

It is also possible to obtain the conflict information directly from the Dbvisit Replicate schema. Logon to the apply (target database) as the Dbvisit Replicate schema owner (dbvrep) and query table:

DBRSAPPLY_CONFLICT_LOG

This lists all the conflicts encountered, including failing SQL.

...

Global default conflict handler

The default global setting for conflicts is "retry". This means that the operation will keep trying the operation until a manual change is made on the target to resolve the conflict. The default global setting for a conflict can be changed with the SET_CONFLICT_HANDLERS FOR DEFAULT command. See the Command Reference or use HELP SET_CONFLICT_HANDLERS for the exact syntax.

...

By default all commands in the Dbvisit Replicate console work with the default processes MINE and APPLY. The choose replication command is useful when working with 2-way replication where there are multiple processes such as MINE, APPLY, MINE1 and APPLY1. 

Note that the CHOOSE REPLICATION command selects all processes for the indicated replication (so both Mine and Apply processes).

 Example:

Panel
bgColorCCC
dbvrep> CHOOSE REPLICATION MINE1

 The above command will choose the replication pair that is associated with MINE1. Typically this is MINE1->APPLY1.

 Note that the CHOOSE REPLICATION command is needed prior to issuing commands to display, resolve and set conflicts for the APPLY1 process.
