Instructs an OpenEdge Replication agent to transition the target database. The database transitions to the role defined in the properties file (source or normal). Use this command to perform a manual transition of a target database that is in a pre-transition state.

Syntax

dsrutil db-name -C transition [ -Passphrase ][ -logging [ 1 | 2 ]]

Parameters

db-name

The name of the target database to perform the action on.

-C transition

Causes the Replication agent to start transition.

-Passphrase

The transition of a database from one role to another requires that many different operations be performed, which could include adding after-image extents, backing up the database, or starting up or shutting down the database. The passphrase is required when these operations are performed for a manual startup database that you have enabled with transparent data encryption.

-logging

Turns on transition logging.
