Materializing databases in ASE 12.5.1 or later

This section describes two materialization procedures for Replication Server—Heterogeneous Replication Options databases in Adaptive Server version 12.5.1 or later:

Both of these procedures use the snapshot materialization technique.

The materialization procedures in this section take advantage of the Adaptive Server mount command. Using mount simplifies the materialization procedure by allowing you to “create” devices at the target site, using the disk replication system’s snapshot (or point-in-time copy) feature, and then mount those devices in the target Adaptive Server. This feature eliminates initializing the devices, creating an empty database, and shutting down and restarting the server.

To materialize a database in Adaptive Server version 12.5.1 or later, you can use the procedures in this section.
