The cdr delete server command deletes the database server in server_group from the global catalog, removes the database server from all participating replicates, and purges all replication data from the send queues for the specified database server. The command shuts down Enterprise Replication on the database server and removes the global catalog from the database server.

When you delete an Enterprise Replication server, you must issue the cdr delete server command twice: once on the server being deleted and once on another server in the enterprise. The first cdr delete server removes the Enterprise Replication server from the local global catalog and removes the Enterprise Replication connection to other hosts. The second cdr delete server removes the Enterprise Replication server from the other replication servers in the system. For more information, see the Examples.

You can issue the cdr delete server command from any replication server. The only limitation is that you cannot delete a server with children. You must delete the children of a server before deleting the parent server.

You cannot delete a server from the enterprise if it is stopped. To delete a server with cdr delete server, you must issue a cdr start command first.

This example removes the server g_italy from the replication environment (assume that you issue the commands from the replication server g_usa):

cdr delete server -c usa g_italy
cdr delete server -c italy g_italy

The first command performs the following actions:

• Removes g_italy from the usa global catalog
• Drops the connection from g_usa to g_italy
• Removes g_italy from all participating replicates
• Purges the replication data destined for g_italy from send queues
• Broadcasts this delete server command to all other servers (other than g_italy) so that they can perform the same actions

The second command connects to server italy and removes Enterprise Replication from italy. That is, it removes the syscdr database and removes or stops other components of Enterprise Replication.

Figure 19 shows a replication environment with three replication servers, g_usa, g_italy, and g_japan.

Figure 19. Three Replication Servers

To remove Enterprise Replication from this environment, issue the following commands from the computer where the usa replication server resides.

• cdr connect server
• cdr define server
• cdr disconnect server
• cdr list server
• cdr modify server
• cdr resume server
• cdr suspend server
