repcat Command--Create and Load Replicator Catalogs
The repcat command creates and populates the Ingres Replicator catalog tables and creates Ingres Replicator database events. You must run repcat before starting the Replicator Manager for the first time.
The repcat command must be run before you can move the Ingres Replicator configuration from a configuration database to the other participating databases. The repcat command must be run on every Replicator database containing Full Peer or Protected Read-only CDDSs. You do not need to run repcat on databases with only Unprotected Read-only CDDSs.
Note:  You can run repcat from a single location by specifying the virtual node name (vnode).
The repcat command has the following format:
repcat [+w|-w] [-udba_name] [vnode::]dbname
+w|-w
Indicates whether to wait for an exclusive lock on the database.
Default: ‑w (do not wait)
-udba_name
Specifies the effective user for the session. You must run repcat as the owner of the database.
dbname
Identifies the name of the database, and if required, the vnode, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters.
