The thumb rule of replication is to identical source and target data before starting replication so no conflicts arise. Therefore, Execute APPLY.sh script on target machine to sync target data with source before starting replication.
APPLY.sh is empty when source environment (schema/tables) has no data.
As indicated by the Nextsteps.txt , the replication can be started by following the steps that are listed above.
Starting the replication does the following:
- Starts the MINE and APPLY process in the background
- Creates the necessary log and plog directories.
- Once the APPLY and MINE process has been started, there is in INITIALIZATION process. This replicates the contents of the Dbvisit Replication repository from the source to the target database. The replication can not be started until this phase has been completed.
