Definitions
 Source database
• “Normal” production
• Original source of updates
 Target database
• Standby database
• Target location in OpenEdge Replication
 Single point of failure – a bad thing.

Definitions
 Primary Replication
• Normal processing
• Primary machine performs updates
• Secondary machine receives updates
 Failover
• Primary machine fails
• Secondary machine becomes primary
 No Backup – a bad thing

Definitions
 Secondary Replication
• Failed over mode
• Secondary machine performs updates
• Primary machine receives updates
 Failback
• The process to get primary machine back to
its original state and the secondary machine to
take on its original role to be the backup
 Failing to check your backup – a bad thing

Definitions
 Transition
• Process where the databases change roles
• Configured to be either manual or automatic
 Synchronization
• Process to make sure the database on
primary and secondary are identical
• This is performed
– During database and replication startup
– Failure recovery processing

How Does it Work?
 Plugs into after-image sub-system
 TCP connection between server and agent
 Queue for transfers on source
 Agent periodically (every 10 blocks) polls

17
server for heart beat (asynchronous mode)
Agent will also communicate a
synchronization point (ie. extent switch) back
to the server

Additional Considerations
 Schema changes are replicated
 AI extents must be managed
• AI Management Utility!!!
 Ensure that you have enough AI extents
space - extents will remain “locked” until they
are replicated in entirety
PSDN Whitepaper – “Managing AI with and
OpenEdge Replication”

Machine Setup
 Source and target machines must
• Have identical architectures
• Be running the same operating system
• Be connected via TCP/IP
 The target machine must have disk space
comparable to the source machine

Progress Requirements
 Progress 9.1E for Fathom Replication 3.0A
 OpenEdge 10.0B+ for OpenEdge Replication

20
(failback capabilities enable in 10.1A)
After-imaging must be enabled

Replication Failback Transition
 Databases can be

•
•

Synchronized
shut down
Transitioned to new roles
AI added and enabled
and restarted
with a single command
Process is initiated from the source database
side

Replication Failback Transition
 Transition based on the properties files
 Transition will occur based on the following
criteria:
•
•
•
•
38
Source or target
Online or offline
Is Replication Server or Agent running?
Has failure just occurred?

OpenEdge Replication Release 10
Failover Process
1. Primary database is Lost
•
Determine which ai extents to apply
dsrutil target -C recovery
•
Manually apply source AI extents on target (Optional)
dsrutil db –C applyextent
2. Secondary database transition
• Source or normal / online or offline
dsrutil db –C transition
3. AI extents added and AI started
[normal AI enablement process]
4. Secondary restarted
• Manual or automatic
proserve …
5. Awaits communication to Primary

OpenEdge Replication Release 10.1B
Enable Secondary Replication
 Primary machine repaired
 Online backup of secondary db
 Copy backup to primary machine
 Make db on primary machine the target
prorest primary bkupfile [–REPLTransition]
 DB on secondary machine acting as source
and replicating to target on primary

Failback Specifics
 Schedule time to get db on primary machine


transitioned back to source
No activity on either machine
2 methods:
• Automated Failback
• Controlled Transition
 On secondary machine:
dsrutil secondary –C transition failover

Initiated on Source database (on Secondary
machine)
• <insert command>
Ensures databases are in sync
Backs up databases (periodically for recovery)
Shuts down database
Does AI management (if requested)
Reverses Roles
Finishes AI management (if requested)
Restarts Databases

Controlled Transition
 Controlled Transition
• Verify synchronization:
– Look at db log file or
– Dsrutil source –C status –detail
– Shutdown databases
– On primary machine transition to source
 Dsrutil primary –C transition
– On secondary machine transition to target
 Dsrutil secondary –C transition
