Database Resynchronization Scenarios

There are procedures you must follow to resynchronize databases in different scenarios. After completing these procedures, the primary and replicate databases are transactionally consistent.

To execute these procedures, you must:

For commands and syntax for RepAgent for Adaptive Server and Replication Server, see the Replication Server Reference Manual and Chapter 5, "Managing RepAgent and Supporting Adaptive Server" in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.

• Resynchronize One or More Replicate Databases Directly from a Primary Database
  Resynchronize one or multiple replicate databases from a single primary database.
• Resynchronizing Using a Third-party Dump Utility
  Coordinate resynchronization after you dump the primary database using a third-party dump utility, such as a disk snapshot.
• Resynchronizing if There is No Support for the Resync Database Marker
  Coordinate resynchronization if the RepAgent or the primary database have not been updated to support automatic generation of a resync marker.
• Resynchronizing Both the Primary and Replicate Databases from the Same Dump
  Coordinate resynchronization to reload both the primary database and replicate database from the same dump or copy of data. No dump database marker is needed, since you are not obtaining a dump from the primary database.
• Resynchronizing the Active and Standby Databases in a Warm Standby Application
  Resynchronize the active and standby databases in a warm standby environment, when the warm standby pair is the replicate site for a single primary database.
