ignore loss

Allows Replication Server to accept messages after it detects a loss.

Syntax

ignore loss
 from data_server.database 
[to {data_server.database | replication_server}]

from data_server.database – Specifies the primary data server and database whose message loss is to be ignored.
to data_server.database – Specifies the destination data server and database for the lost messages.
to replication_server – Specifies the destination Replication Server for the lost messages.

Replication Server detects loss when it rebuilds queues or replays transaction logs in recovery mode.
A Replication Server detects message losses on connections to the replicate databases it manages.
For warm standby databases, use the logical connection name for data_server.database, except for losses that Replication Server detects between the active database and the standby database. To ignore these losses, use the physical data_server.database name.
If direct routes exist, the destination Replication Server detects message losses from the source Replication Server. Look in both Replication Server log files to determine whether losses were detected.
When a Replication Server detects losses, it accepts no messages on the connection until ignore loss is executed.
After ignore loss is executed, a few updates may be necessary before messages begin to flow again.
After ignore loss is executed, procedures are required to bring replicated data up to date.

See the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 for detailed recovery instructions.

ignore loss requires “sa” permission.
