Preparing an Adabas database for Adabas to Adabas Replication
Before doing Adabas to Adabas replication, the source database must be initialized for replication. This includes running the Adabas tool ADADBM to initialize the source database.
The ADADBM tool must be run with the parameter REPLICATION_FILES prior to doing Adabas to Adabas replication.
Note:
You will not be able to run ADADBM with the REPLICATION_FILES parameter unless you have an A2A license for Adabas installed.
Command format:
ADADBM REPLICATION_FILES=(<file1>, <file2>, <file3>, <file4>)
where:
1. File 1 is the metadata file.
2. File 2 is the replication transaction file.
3. File 3 is the replication command file.
4. File 4 is the LOB file for the replication command file.
Example:
ADADBM DBID=1 REPLICATION_FILES=(15,16,17,18)
Use the REMOVE_REPLICATION parameter to uninitialize replication. Example:
ADADBM DBID=1 REMOVE_REPLICATION
This will stop all replication and remove the replication system files. Only do this if you no longer wish to replicate data.
For more information about the ADADBM or other Adabas utilities, please refer to the Software AG Adabas documentation.
