To change an existing indirect route to a direct route, perform the following steps.
Enter the following command at the source Replication Server, from which the indirect route originates:
suspend route to dest_replication_server
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.
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
Resume log transfer connections by entering the following command at each Replication Server where you previously suspended log transfer:
resume log transfer from all
Resume the suspended route by entering the following command at the source Replication Server:
resume route to dest_replication_server
