Adding an Adabas to Adabas File Copy Replication to InstantdbSync
Adding an Adabas to Adabas File Copy Replication to InstantdbSync 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.
Add an Adabas to Adabas File Copy replication if:
You wish to replicate a source file exactly to another Adabas nucleus file.
You do not wish to change or modify the data during replication, just transfer the data exactly as it is.
After you add a replication, you will be able to deploy it (which will start replicating data from source database to target database).
You can add many source files to InstantdbSync and associate them with a target database at the same time.
CAUTION:
To maintain data integrity, a file cannot be both the source table in one replication and a target file in another replication.
1. Open the InstantdbSync CDD.
2. Click Add Tables.
If this is a new CDD, the Add Tables form will open automatically.
3. Select the Adabas File Copy tab and you will see dropdowns to select the Source and Target Database. Once selected, the file numbers available for replication will be listed.
If you do not see the "Adabas File Copy" tab check:
that there is only one Adabas nucleus with a version 6.3.1.03 or higher imported into the CDD.
whether the license for Adabas to Adabas File Copy replication is properly installed.
4. Select the Copy checkbox for the files you wish to replicate.
The rightmost columns present information about the same file number on the target database. They will tell if the target file already exists and if the FDT of the target is different from the source before the replication is started.
CAUTION:
Target tables are dropped and recreated on deploy - make sure that the target database is the correct one.
5. Click OK. The main InstantdbSync 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 Adabas to Adabas file copy replications.
6. From here on you can:
Click Validate and then Deploy to delpoy the changes you've made.
Click File -> Save to save the changes without deploying them.
For more information about Validate Active, see Validating Active Replications. For more information about Deploy, see Deploying the Event Replicaton.
To assign a different file number to the target file, please see the section on Renumbering Target Files.
Note:
The list of files displayed on the Add Tables dialog is cached in the Replication Administrator the first time this dialog is opened. If files are added or removed from Adabas while the Replication Administrator is running, you need to use the Refresh button to refresh the list of files.
