repdbcfg Command--Configure Multiple Mobile Databases
The repdbcfg command allows you to configure multiple Ingres mobile databases simultaneously from the operating system prompt of the host machine to which Ingres Replicator on mobile Replicator will connect.
Note: In Full Peer situations, the paths created by repdbcfg will not be sufficient to permit all changes from each mobile database to be replicated to all other mobile databases. For more information, see the Replicator User Guide.
The repdbcfg command has the following format:
repdbcfg [vnode::]dbname filename [-udba_name]
vnode::dbname
Specifies the name of the database to be configured.
filename
Specifies the name of the input file.
-udba_name
Specifies the name of the database owner.
The input file should have the following format:
user_name [db_no] [dbname] [cdds_no] [target_type]
where:
user_name
Specifies the user name of the owner of the mobile database. The user_name must be unique and 32 bytes or less.
db_no
Specifies the number of the mobile database.
The optional db_no must be a number in the range of 1-32,767 that has not already been used in your Replicator configuration (dd_databases table). If db_no is not provided on the first line in the file, repdbcfg uses 101 as a default or the next higher number that does not exist in dd_databases. If db_no is not specified on subsequent lines, the previous value incremented by one is used.
dbname
Identifies the name of the mobile database. The optional dbname should be a unique database name up to 32 bytes long. If it is not provided, the user_name is used as the default database name. The node name for all mobile databases is “mobile.”
cdds_no
Specifies the number of the CDDS for the mobile database.
The optional cdds_no should be a number in the range of 1-32,767. It should already be defined in the dd_cdds table through the CDDS Detail screen. If it is not provided on the first line, repdbcfg uses 50 as the default. If it is not provided on subsequent lines, the previous value is used.
target_type
Specifies the CDDS target type of the mobile database. Valid values are:
FP – Full Peer
PR – Protected Read-only
UR – Unprotected Read-only
Default: If target_type is not provided on the first line, the default is FP. If it is not provided on subsequent lines, the default is the previous value.
For each target_type, repdbcfg creates a data propagation path, under the given or default CDDS, from the local database to the mobile database. If the target_type is FP, repdbcfg creates an additional path from the mobile database to the local database.
