To quiesce a
replication system means to put the system in a state in which no Replication
Servers have messages to send or receive.
You may need to quiesce all
Replication Servers in the system to recover databases, alter routes,
and troubleshoot the system. A Replication Server is quiescent when the following conditions
are true:
Subscription materialization
queues do not exist.
Replication Server has read all messages in all
queues.
Transaction caches for inbound queues contain no
complete transactions.
Messages in RSI queues have been sent and acknowledged.
Messages in DSI queues have been applied and acknowledged.
