Chapter 3: Managing Warm Standby Applications

This chapter describes one way to create and manage a warm standby application using Replication Server.

This chapter describes how to set up and configure a warm standby application between two Adaptive Server databases—the primary or active database and a single standby database. Changes to the primary database are copied directly to the warm standby database. To change or qualify the data sent, you must add table and function replication definitions.

You can also use multisite availability (MSA) to set up a warm standby application between Adaptive Server databases. MSA enables replication to multiple standby and replicate databases. You can choose whether to replicate the entire database or replicate (or not replicate) specified tables, transactions, functions, system stored procedures, and data definition language (DDL). See Chapter 12, “Managing Replicated Objects Using Multisite Availability,” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 for information about setting up a warm standby application using MSA.
