Wait
Nowait
Indicates whether or not the Replicate command should wait for
activation of the replication server processes before returning
control to the user.
Applicable to: Master and standby databases
Required or Optional: Optional
Default Value: Wait
The Wait qualifier has the following effects:
o On the master database node-replication waits for deactivation
of the server processes on the master database node
o On the standby database node-replication waits for
deactivation of the server processes on the standby database
node
The following list describes the Wait and Nowait qualifiers:
o Wait (default)
The Replicate command does not return to the user until
the respective server process has successfully stopped the
database replication operation. Replication waits indefinitely
for the termination of the server process, even though
termination might take substantial time. However, the server
process might not actually stop the replication operation.
o Nowait
Control should be returned to the user as soon as the LCS or
LRS server process has been stopped by the database monitor.
NOTE
You must wait for commands that include the Nowait qualifier
to complete before you enter another command. This is
because if the first command fails before the subsequent
command executes, the second command might receive the
HOTCMDPEND error. For example:
$ RMU/REPLICATE AFTER_JOURNAL START/NOWAIT mf_personnel
$ RMU/REPLICATE AFTER_JOURNAL STOP/WAIT mf_personnel
If the first command to start replication fails, the startup
error might be returned to the waiting Replicate After_
Journal Stop command.
