Renumbering Target Files

Renumbering files on the target system includes:

  • Opening a CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD)

  • Selecting a source nucleus from the Adabas nucleus in the CDD

  • Selecting a target Adabas nucleus

  • Select the file numbers that will be replicated from the source

  • Specify a new file number for the target

 

Use the renumber feature if:

  • You wish to replicate Adabas files but you want the target files to have different file numbers than the source

 

After you add a replication with renumbered target files you will be able to:

  • Deploy it (which will start replicating data from source database to target database)

 

You can renumber the target file in the Add Tables dialog..

 

  1. Open the Open Systems Event Replicator CDD.

  1. Click Add Tables. The Add Tables window appears.  If this is a new CDD then the Add Tables form will open automatically.  Select the Adabas File Copy tab and you will see dropdowns to select the Source and Target Database.  Once selected, the file numbers available to replicate will be listed.   *If you do not see the "Adabas File Copy" tab check the following:  Are there more than one Adabas nucleus with a version 6.3.1.03 or higher imported into the CDD?  Do you have a license for Adabas to Adabas File Copy replication?

  1. Select the "Target File" field for the file to be renamed and enter the new file number.  Below is an example of changing file 9 to file 29

If the source file has a LOB file associated with it, the LOB file will be displayed below the source file in the grid.  In this case, the LOB file for file 9 is file 14.  The LOB file can also be renumbered in the same manner.  Click in the Target LOB File field and change the number.

  1. Click OK. The Open Systems Event Replication window appears and the files you added are in the list.  The "Map Columns" and "Build Targets" buttons are disabled because the functionality does not apply to A to A file Copy replications.  Note that the Target Table number reflects the renumbered table.  LOB files are not displayed on this screen.
