Archiving a Replication Environment

You can archive an ILM and its associated PDMs at any time. For Replication Server v15.5 and higher, the archived replication environment can be used as a baseline for use when generating an alter replication definition statement.

  1. Open the ILM representing the state of your replication environment that you want to use as a baseline.
  2. Select File > Save as and select Archived ILM in the Save as type list.
  3. Specify a name for your archived ILM and click Save. You will be prompted to save the associated PDMs as archives.
  4. Click Yes to archive the PDMs referenced in the ILM. If any of the PDMs has not previously been saved, you will be prompted to specify a name for its archive.
Your replication environment is saved as an archive, which can be used as a baseline against which to generate an alter replication definition statement.
