New bulk materialization method

Replication Server 12.6 supports a new bulk materialization method for copying or moving a database from a source Adaptive Server to a destination Adaptive Server without shutting down the source Adaptive Server. The Adaptive Server quiesce database ... to manifest_file and mount commands let you quiesce the server and copy or move the database.

To use this bulk materialization method, both the source and destination database servers must be Adaptive Server version 12.5.1 or later.

You can use quiesce database ... to manifest_file to generate all the data storage information and then use mount to mount the data to a new database—see Chapter 10, “Managing Subscriptions,” in the Replication Server Administration Guide. You can use quiesce database ... to manifest_file and mount when you add a warm standby database—see Chapter 13, “Managing Warm Standby,” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.

For information about mount and unmount, see Chapter 22, “Database Mount and Unmount,” in the Adaptive Server Enterprise System Administration Guide.
