You can enter the command on either the master node or the standby node. When you enter the command on the master database, replication is terminated immediately. Active transactions are handled differently depending on whether you specify the Abort qualifier or take the default (Noabort). When you enter the command on the standby database, replication is terminated after any pending after-image journal records are completely rolled forward. Any active transactions on the standby database are rolled back. You can stop database replication while the master database, the standby database, or both databases are on line (open) and accessible for active use. There is no need to close either database to stop database replication. If the database is not manually opened on the node where you entered the Replicate After_Journal Start command, you must enter the Replicate After_Journal Stop command on the node where the corresponding replication server is running, or first open the database manually. When replication operations stop, the Hot Standby software automatically restarts the AIJ log server (ALS) processes on the standby node.
