Ignore a Loss

You must execute an ignore loss command in certain situations.

Execute ignore loss:

• If you choose to recover the lost messages by re-creating subscriptions or replaying logs.

• For an SQM loss, at the Replication Server that reported that loss, to force the Replication Server to begin accepting messages again. For example, to ignore a loss at Replication Server RS3 detected from DS1.PDB, enter the following command at RS3:

  ignore loss from DS1.PDB to DS3.RDB

• For a DSI loss, at the database on the Replication Server where the loss was detected. For example, to ignore a loss reported in DS2.RS2_RSSD from origin DS1.RS1_RSSD, enter the following command at RS2:

  ignore loss from DS1.RS1_RSSD to DS2.RS2_RSSD

• For both an SQM and a DSI loss that is detected by a Replication Server at the destination of the route when you rebuild two Replication Servers in succession.

  In this case, you need to execute ignore loss twice, once for SQM losses and once for DSI losses. The ignore loss command that you execute to ignore DSI loss at the destination Replication Server is the same command you use to ignore SQM loss from the previous site.
