Synchronizing Servers

Synchronizing copies the coordinator's version of the database catalog to secondary servers.

Prerequisites

Log in as a user with the BACKUP DATABASE privilege and perform the following steps on the computer where the secondary server runs.

Task
  1. Remove theĀ .LOG transaction log file in the secondary server directory.
  2. Back up the catalog store to the directory where the secondary server runs:
    dbbackup -y -d -c "uid=dba;pwd=sql;links=tcpip{port=2763};eng=mpxnode_c" /host1/mpx/
  3. Set the log file path:
    dblog -r -t mpxtest.log mpxtest.db
  4. Start the secondary node using the start_iq command.
  5. Repeat the previous steps for each secondary server in the multiplex.
