After you have switched to the new active database, you must decide what to do with the old active database. You can:
Bring the database online as the new standby database and resume the connection so that Replication Server can apply new transactions, or
Drop the database connection using the drop connection command, and add it again later as the new standby database. If you drop the database, any queued messages for the database are deleted. Refer to Chapter 3, “Replication Server Commands,” in the Replication Server Reference Manual for more information about drop connection command.
