connect_to_rs

Enables or disables the network connection to the primary Replication Server.

Default

true

Values

true – enables the network connection to Replication Server.

false – disables the network connection to Replication Server.

Comments

  • When the value of the connect_to_rs parameter is false, the network connection from Replication Agent to Replication Server is disabled, and no replication can occur.

  • When the network connection to Replication Server is disabled by the connect_to_rs parameter, the Replication Agent instance can still go to Replicating state, with the following limitations:

    • A “dummy” connection in Replication Agent emulates a real connection to Replication Server.

    • The value of the LTM Locator stored in the Replication Agent transaction log is set to zero.

    • The maintenance user name is set to an invalid user ID.

      Note: maintenance user operations cannot be filtered when the value of the connect_to_rs parameter is false.

  • You can use the connect_to_rs parameter to temporarily disable the network connection to Replication Server for testing.

  • When the value of the connect_to_rs parameter is false, you can put the Replication Agent instance in Replicating state, set the value of the LTITRACELTL trace flag to true, and view a readable representation of the LTL that would have been sent to Replication Server if the connection had not been disabled.

  • During normal Replication Agent operation, the value of the connect_to_rs parameter must be true.
