Default Allocation Mechanism

By default, Replication Server assigns queue segments to the first partition in an ordered list of partitions.

When the first partition becomes full, the first partition becomes the last partition, and the next queue segment is allocated to the new first partition. When the default method is used, the rolling allocation of segments is automatic and cannot be controlled by the user.

The allocation of queue segments follows this process:
Default Allocation Mechanism
Figure 4-9 illustrates default allocation mechanism. In the figure shown, the first allocation has three partitions, displayed in order and an N partition to represent the additional partition created, which depends on the number of databases and remote Replication Servers. In the first allocation, queue segments are assign to the first partition in an ordered list of partitions. And on the second allocation, queue segments are assigned to the second partition, which now becomes the first in the ordered list, and the first partition now becomes the last partition.
