By default, Event Replicator for Adabas attempts to connect with any Adabas database encountered during an Event Replicator Server session. You may, however, prefer to control these connection attempts using an Adabas database connection definition. This document describes how to maintain these definitions using Event Replicator Administration.
To list the connection definitions for Adabas databases in Event Replicator Administration:
Select an Event Replicator Server in tree-view as described in Selecting Event Replicator Databases.
Click and expand Replication Definitions in the tree-view under Replicators.
A list of the Event Replicator definitions you can maintain in the Replication system file appears in tree-view.
Click on Database IDs in the tree-view under Replication Definitions.
A table listing the database IDs for which connection definitions have been defined appears in detail-view. This table lists the database IDs and whether or not they are connected to this Event Replicator.
To add a connection definition for an Adabas database:
List the connection definitions in Event Replicator Administration, as described in Listing Adabas Database Connection Definitions.
The destinations are listed in the Database IDs table in detail-view.
Right-click on Database IDs in the tree-view under Replication Definitions.
A drop-down menu appears.
Click on Create New Database ID in the drop-down menu.
A blank Database ID panel appears in detail-view.
Fill in the fields in Value columns of the detail-view table as described below:
Click key to save the connection definition and return to the Database IDs screen.
The database connection definition is added.
To modify a connection definition in the Event Replicator Administration:
List the connection definitions in the Event Replicator Administration, as described in Listing Adabas Database Connection Definitions.
The destinations are listed on the Database IDs screen.
Locate the definition you want to modify in detail-view and click on the database ID.
The Database ID panel appears in detail-view showing the definition.

The Database ID panel refreshes, allowing you to change the connection information for this database. For information on modifying this screen, read the description of Adding a Connection Setting for an Adabas Database.
When all modifications have been made, click to save the changes and return to the Database IDs screen.
To copy a connection definition in the Event Replicator Administration:
List the connection definitions in the Event Replicator Administration, as described in Listing Adabas Database Connection Definitions.
The destinations are listed on the Database IDs screen.
Locate the definition you want to copy in detail-view and click on the database ID .
The Database ID panel appears in detail-view showing the definition.
Click .
The Database ID panel refreshes, allowing you to specify a new Adabas database ID for the new definition.
Specify a new Adabas database ID for the copy of the definition and click .
The connection definition is copied and the copy appears on the Database IDs screen.
You can use Event Replicator Administration to activate and deactivate databases or individual files within a database.

Warning: Be careful when you activate and deactivate replication definitions and databases, especially if replication is ongoing at the time. Whenever you activate or deactivate definitions or databases, you run the risk of altering what data is replicated and how that replication occurs. If the Event Replicator Server receives data from an Adabas database for which it has no active definitions, replication simply does not occur. |
