o  The first time you configure the standby database, you must
       include the Master_Root qualifier, and you must include the
       Standby_Root qualifier the first time you configure the master
       database.

       You must preconfigure the Master_Root or Standby_Root
       qualifiers because these qualifiers identify the "alternate"
       database for the database being configured. These qualifiers
       also identify whether a master or standby database is being
       configured (if the Replicate After_Journal Configure command
       includes the Master_Root qualifier, a standby database is
       being configured). The Master_Root and Standby_Root qualifiers
       are optional on subsequent replication configuration commands
       because the value is stored in the database root file.

    o  You can include a node name with the Master_Root or Standby_
       Root qualifiers.

    o  You cannot invoke the Replicate After_Journal Configure
       command when replication operations are active.

    o  The RMU Backup command with the Continuous qualifier is not
       supported when replication operations are active.

    o  You can override values you define with the Replicate After_
       Journal Configure command (and other the default values stored
       in the database root file) by specifying qualifiers on the
       Replicate After_Journal Start command.

    o  You cannot specify the Output qualifier on the Replicate
       After_Journal Configure command. Therefore, if you need to
       record Hot Standby server information to an output file when
       you start replication operations from the master database,
       specify an output file by:

       -  Including the Output qualifier on the Replicate After_
          Journal Start command

       -  Defining the BIND_ALS_OUTPUT_FILE, BIND_HOT_OUTPUT_FILE,
          BIND_LCS_OUTPUT_FILE, or BIND_LRS_OUTPUT_FILE logical name

                                         NOTE

             If you plan to start replication operations remotely
             (for example, to start replication on the standby
             database from the master database node), you must
             have GROUP, WORLD, and SYSPRV privileges on OpenVMS
             systems.
