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 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:

    alter route to dest_replication_server
    set username user set password passwd
    
  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
