Enabling Failover support for an RSSD connection

To enable Failover support for an RSSD connection, use either of the following methods:

• Use rs_init when you install a new Replication Server.

  For instructions, refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring Replication Server and Adding New Databases,” in the Replication Server Configuration Guide for your platform.

• Edit the Replication Server configuration file after you have installed the Replication Server.

  1. Use a text editor to open the Replication Server configuration file. The default file name is the Replication Server name with a “.cfg” extension.

     The configuration file contains one line per entry.

  2. Find the line “RSSD_ha_failover=no” and change it to:

     RSSD_ha_failover=yes
     

  3. To disable Failover support for an RSSD connection, change the “RSSD_ha_failover=yes” to:

     RSSD_ha_failover=no
     

     These changes take affect immediately; that is, you do not have to restart Replication Server to enable Failover support.
