Exclusive Replicate Sets

To maintain referential integrity between replicates that include tables that have referential constraints placed on columns, you must create an exclusive replicate set and add the replicate to it.

An exclusive replicate set has the following characteristics:

• All replicates in an exclusive replicate set have the same state and frequency settings. For more information, see Displaying Information About Replicates.
• When you create the replicate set, Enterprise Replication sets the initial state of the replicate set to active.
• You can manage the replicates in an exclusive replicate set only as part of the set. Enterprise Replication does not support the following actions for the individual replicates in an exclusive replicate set:
  • Starting a Replicate
  • Stopping a Replicate
  • Suspending a Replicate
  • Resuming a Suspended Replicate
• Replicates that belong to an exclusive replicate set cannot belong to any other replicate sets.

To create an exclusive replicate set, use the --exclusive option with cdr define replicateset.
