VMS Help  —  RMU72  Hot Standby, Replicate After Journal Commands, Configure  Description
    The Replicate After_Journal Configure command is an optional
    command you can use to preconfigure the master and standby
    databases, one database at a time.

                                   NOTE

       You cannot preconfigure both the master and standby database
       attributes in a single Replicate After_Journal Configure
       command. Moreover, you cannot enter the Replicate After_
       Journal Configure command on the standby database to
       preconfigure master database attributes, or preconfigure
       standby database attributes from the master database.

    You can specify one or more of the following qualifiers when you
    enter the Replicate After_Journal Configure command on the master
    database:

    Master Database
    Qualifiers

    Alt_Remote_Node (1)
    Checkpoint
    Connect_Timeout
    [No]Log
    [No]Quiet_Point
    Reset
    Standby_Root (2)
    Synchronization
    Transport

    Footnote (1): You must also specify the Standby_Root qualifier.
    Footnote (2): You must specify the Standby_Root qualifier the
    first time you configure the master database.

    The master database attributes that you specify are stored in the
    master database root file. (You cannot specify the Wait, NoWait,
    and Output qualifiers on the Replicate After_Journal Configure
    command. You can specify these qualifiers when you invoke the
    Replicate After_Journal Start command.)

    You can specify one or more of the following qualifiers when
    you enter the Replicate After_Journal Configure command on the
    standby database:

    Standby Database
    Qualifiers

    Buffers
    Checkpoint
    Gap_Timeout
    Governor
    [No]Log
    Master_Root (1)
    [No]Online
    Reset

    Footnote (1): You must specify the Master_Root qualifier the
    first time you configure the standby database.

    The standby database attributes that you specify are stored in
    the standby database root file. (You cannot specify the Wait,
    NoWait, and Output qualifiers on the Replicate After_Journal
    Configure command. You can specify these qualifiers when you
    invoke the Replicate After_Journal Start command.)

    You should use the Replicate After_Journal Configure command if
    you want to:

    o  Preset qualifier values that you typically specify on the
       Replicate After_Journal Start command, but without starting
       replication operations.

       The values you specify become the new default qualifier values
       that are stored in the database root file.

    o  Be able to quickly start replication operations by invoking
       a single Replicate After_Journal Start command on the master
       database.

       If you use the Replicate After_Journal Configure command
       to preconfigure the master and standby databases, you can
       start replication for both databases by entering one Replicate
       After_Journal Start command on the master database.

    For example, if you have preconfigured both the master and
    standby databases and then invoke the Replicate After_Journal
    Start command on the master database node, the Hot Standby
    software:

    1. Starts replication operations on the master database using
       default qualifier values from the master database root file

    2. Creates the network connection to the standby database

    3. Attaches the master and standby databases to the network

    4. Starts replication operations on the standby database using
       default qualifier values in the standby database root file

    5. Synchronizes committed transactions on the master and standby
       databases

                                      NOTE

          If you have not preconfigured database attributes using
          the Replicate After_Journal Configure command, the Hot
          Standby software uses either the system-supplied defaults
          or the values that you specified on a previous Replicate
          After_Journal Start command.
