Transition properties

You must group all transition properties into the transition section of the db-name.repl.properties file. The properties file must be located in the same directory as the db-name.db file.

The following is a sample of properties for a primary database:

[server]
    control-agents=agent1
    database=source-db-name
    transition=manual
    transition-timeout=600
    agent-shutdown-action=recovery
    repl-keep-alive=90

[control-agent.agent1]
   name=agent1
   database=target-db-name
   host=localhost
   port=6931
   connect-timeout=120
   replication-method=async
   critical=0

[agent]
   name=agent1
   database=source-db-name
   listener-minport=4387
   listener-maxport=4500

[transition]
   database-role=reverse
   responsibility=primary
   auto-begin-ai=1
   auto-add-ai-areas=1
   transition-to-agents=agent1
   ai-structure-file=source-db-name.addai.st
   restart-after-transition=1
   target-startup-arguments=-S 6931
   recovery-backup-arguments=primary.recovery.bak

The following is a sample of properties for a secondary database:

#
[agent]
   name=agent1
   database=target-db-name
   listener-minport=4387
   listener-maxport=4500

[server]
    control-agents=agent1
    database=source-db-name
    transition=manual
    transition-timeout=600
    defer-agent-startup=60
    agent-shutdown-action=recovery
    repl-keep-alive=90

[control-agent.agent1]
   name=agent1
   database=target-db-name
   host=localhost
   port=6931
   connect-timeout=120
   replication-method=async
   critical=0

[transition]
   transition-to-agents=agent1
   responsibility=secondary
   database-role=reverse
   auto-begin-ai=1
   auto-add-ai-areas=1
   ai-structure-file=target-db-name.addai.st
   restart-after-transition=1
   target-startup-arguments=-S 6931
   backup-method=full-offline
   backup-arguments=target-db-name.sav
   incremental-backup-arguments=ks2.sav.inc
