If you want to stop a particular transfer, the transfer definition must be associated with your UIC, or you must have ALTER or DROP transfer privilege, or the OpenVMS BYPASS privilege. You must terminate any outstanding transactions before you issue a STOP TRANSFER statement. If you want to stop a particular transfer, the transfer definition must be associated with your UIC. A transfer cannot occur until you remove it from the suspended state using the START TRANSFER statement. If the transfer is in the active state, the STOP TRANSFER statement also stops the copy process associated with that transfer. After you stop a currently executing extraction, extraction rollup, or initial replication transfer, you cannot access the partially created target database unless you restart the transfer. If a replication update transfer is executing and you stop the transfer, users of the target database can continue their work unaffected. Furthermore, stopping the transfer does not stop the capture of the changes in the source database (written to RDB$CHANGES). The changes are transferred to the target database when the transfer is restarted. No updates to the target database are missed as a result of stopping a replication transfer for which the target relations have already been created. However, since stopping a transfer does not stop the capture of record changes, changes continue to be written to RDB$CHANGES regardless of a transfer's state. Records are added to RDB$CHANGES even for transfers that are suspended for a long time. The number of records in RDB$CHANGES and the overall size of the database both continue to grow.
