Debugging LTL

LTL (Log Transfer Language) is the syntax used to communicate or distribute replication data to Replication Server.

1. Log in to the running Replication Agent instance using the administrator login.
2. Verify that the Replication Agent instance is in Admin state:
   

   ra_status

   If the Replication Agent instance is not in the Admin state, quiesce the Replication Agent instance:

   quiesce

3. Set the values of these Replication Agent configuration parameters for the primary database:

   trace LTITRACELTL, true

4. Start replication for the Replication Agent instance:
   

   resume

5. When new replication activity is generated, check the LTITRACELTL.log file in the log directory to debug your problem.

• Producing More Verbose LTL
  By default, the LTL generated by the Replication Agent is compressed to reduce the amount of data sent to Replication Server. If you require more verbose output to help debug a problem, change these configuration parameters.
