Changing an indirect route to a direct route

To change an existing indirect route to a direct route, perform the following steps.

  1. Enter the following command at the source Replication Server, from which the indirect route originates:

    suspend route to dest_replication_server
    
  2. At each Replication Server that manages a database with a RepAgent, enter:

    suspend log transfer from all
    

    and follow the instructions in “Quiescing a replication system”. This procedure quiesces the replication system so that messages will be redirected to your new routing configuration without error.

  3. For the indirect route you are changing to a direct route, enter the following command at the source Replication Server:

    alter route to dest_replication_server
    set username user set password passwd
    

    where dest_replication_server is the destination Replication Server for the route you are altering, and user and passwd are the RSI user login name and password to use for the direct route.

  4. Resume log transfer connections by entering the following command at each Replication Server where you previously suspended log transfer:

    resume log transfer from all
    
  5. Resume the suspended route by entering the following command at the source Replication Server:

    resume route to dest_replication_server
