Problems with Data Replication (WGS)

Hi, We are using Data Replication of Workgroup Server on AIX systems. For some other reasons the primary server is rebooted every day at 3:00 in the morning. After the reboot sometimes (about once a week) we have replication problems and the primary server (ESCKV2) seems to be blocked (does not accept sessions). Up to now, we have not found a good way to 1) avoid this situation and 2) reactivate DR. Any ideas? used protocol between the servers is onsoctcp, Informix versions are equal, no apparent sqlhosts problems.

No guarantees whatsoever.

a) do not reboot b) to restart use ontape to take a level 0 archive on the primary and then restore the secondary. You could try shutting down the secondary first then the primary. Not sure which is the best way to restart them though!
