When you switch the active and standby databases in Replication Server using the switch active command, Replication Server does not switch client applications to the new active data server and database automatically. You must devise a method to switch client applications. This section describes three sample methods for setting up client applications to connect to the currently active data server. You can create:
Two interfaces files
An interfaces file entry with a symbolic data server name for client applications
A mechanism that automatically maps the client application data server connections to the currently active data server
You must implement your method before you set up the warm standby databases.
Regardless of your method for switching applications, do not modify the interfaces file entries used by Replication Server.
