Common problems

Table 4-1 provides solutions to common problems that can occur while creating a route.

**Table 4-1: Creating a route—problems and suggested actions**
Problem	Suggested Action
The destination Replication Server has no entry in its interfaces file for the source Replication Server.	Include this name in the interfaces file.
You are trying to create a route that has just been dropped.	Wait until the destination Replication Server has cleaned up its route to the source Replication Server. Then the destination can accept the new route. You may need to resume this route from the source Replication Server—the source may have suspended this route after being refused connection by the destination.
You attempt to create an indirect route but the log at the intermediate site contains the message “route is needed to reach the destination.”	Drop the route from the source to the destination using the drop route command with the with nowait clause. Next, create a route from the intermediate site to the destination site. Then, use the create route command with the set next site clause to create an indirect route from the source to the destination.
