In a test environment, there may be times when the replication environment should be reset. Instead of deleting and re-creating a new Mirror Replication Agent instance, use this procedure to easily reset the environment.
To reset the primary ASE database for replication
Protect your new environment from old log information by using this command in the Mirror Replication Agent to move the transaction log truncation point to the end of the log:
pdb_init move_truncpt
To retain marking and log device information, re-initialize the Mirror Replication Agent using ra_init with the force option, which forces the Mirror Replication Agent repository to be refreshed instead of overwritten:
ra_init force
If you prefer to delete and replace all the information
in the Mirror Replication Agent repository, issue the ra_deinit command
followed by a normal ra_init command
(without the force option):
For more information about the ra_init command, see the Mirror Replication Agent Reference Manual.
Zero-out the locator stored in Replication Server using the rs_zeroltm command, for example:
isql -USAMPLE_RS_RSSD_prim -PSAMPLE_RS_RSSD_prim_ps -SSAMPLE_RS_ERSSD -DSAMPLE_RS_ERSSDrs_zeroltm repit150i,foo
go
This message appears:
Locator has been reset to zero.(return status = 0)
