Defining Replication Servers

After you bring the database server online, the next step is to declare the server to Enterprise Replication.

Important:

You must be the Enterprise Replication server administrator to define the replication server. For more information about the server administrator, see Enterprise Replication Server Administrator.

To define the replication server, use the cdr define server command. For example:

cdr define server  [--connect=server_name] \ 
   options --init server_group_name

The --init option initializes the server. If the INFORMIXSERVER environment variable is not set to the server that you are defining, specify the --connect=server_name option. For more information, see Connecting to Another Replication Server.

Tip:

All Enterprise Replication commands and options use the name of the database server group, also known as a server group, instead of the more familiar database server name for all references to database servers (except the --connect option, which can use either). This manual uses the convention that the name of a server group begins with g_ .

Important:

If the CDR_SBSPACE configuration parameter is not set in ONCONFIG or specifies an invalid sbspace, Enterprise Replication fails to define the server. For more information, see Row Data sbspaces.
