Starting a Replicate

When you define a replicate, the replicate does not begin until you explicitly change its state to active. When a replicate is active, Enterprise Replication captures data from the logical log and transmits it to the participants.

To change the replicate state to active, use the cdr start replicate command. For example, to start the replicate sales_data on the servers server1 and server23, enter:

 sales_data server1 server23

This command causes server1 and server23 to start sending data for the sales_data replicate.

If you omit the server names, this command starts the replicate on all servers that are included in that replicate.

When you start a replicate, you can choose to perform an initial data synchronization, as described in Initially Synchronizing Data Among Database Servers.

If a replicate belongs to an exclusive replicate set, you must start the replicate set to which the replicate belongs. For more information, see Starting a Replicate.
