Suspending LTMs

To disconnect an LTM and prevent an LTM from connecting to the Replication Server, execute the suspend log transfer command. The LTM remains suspended until you restart the LTM and execute the resume log transfer command.

NoteSuspending LTMs is the first step in quiescing the replication system. See “Quiescing Replication Server” on page 111.

The syntax for the suspend log transfer command is:

suspend log transfer from {data_server.database | all}

data_server – the data server with the database whose LTM is to be suspended.

database – the database whose LTM is to be suspended and whose connections are to be disallowed.

all – instructs Replication Server to suspend all LTMs and disallow future connections for all LTMs.

The suspend log transfer command records information in the RSSD, so suspended LTMs remain suspended after the Replication Server is restarted.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate the use of the suspend log transfer command.

  1. The following command disconnects the LTM for the database named NY_ACCOUNTS_DB:

    suspend log tranfer from NY_DS.NY_ACCOUNTS_DB
    
  2. The following command suspends all LTM connections to this Replication Server:

    suspend log transfer from all
    

In both examples, after the command is executed, the LTM process shuts down.
