Marking a stored procedure for replication

When you mark a stored procedure for replication, Replication Agent creates the transaction log objects that capture the stored procedure invocation in the transaction log.

StepsTo mark a stored procedure for replication

  1. Log in to the Replication Agent administration port.

  2. Use the pdb_setrepproc command to determine if the stored procedure is already marked in the primary database.

    pdb_setrepproc pdb_proc
    

    where pdb_proc is the name of the stored procedure in the primary database that you want to mark for replication.

    If the pdb_setrepproc command returns information that the specified stored procedure is marked, you need not continue this procedure.

    If the pdb_setrepproc command returns information that the specified stored procedure is not marked, continue this procedure to mark the stored procedure for replication.

  3. Use the pdb_setrepproc command to mark the stored procedure for replication.

    The pdb_setrepproc command allows you to mark the primary stored procedure to be replicated and specify a different stored procedure name to use in the replicate database (as specified in a function replication definition).

    If the value of the pdb_dflt_object_repl parameter is true, you can skip step 4 in this procedure.

    NoteThe default value of the pdb_dflt_object_repl parameter is true.

    If the value of the pdb_dflt_object_repl parameter is false, you must enable replication for the stored procedure before replication can take place.

  4. Use the pdb_setrepproc command to enable replication for the marked stored procedure.

    pdb_setrepproc pdb_proc, enable
    

    where pdb_proc is the name of the marked stored procedure for which you want to enable replication.

    After replication is enabled for the stored procedure, you can begin replicating invocations of that stored procedure in the primary database.
