Common Problems when Creating a Route

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.

Cannot 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.

Canot create an indirect route; the log at the intermediate site reports route is needed to reach the destination.

Drop the route from the source to the destination using drop routewith the with nowait clause. Next, create a route from the intermediate site to the destination site. Then, use create route with set next site to create an indirect route from the source to the destination.
