The operations that were applied to the subscription tables can be seen in the replication
history. See Section 7.3 for information on how to view replication history.
5.5 Managing a Subscription
Note: This section discusses various aspects of managing a subscription of a replication
system. For a similar discussion on managing a publication of a replication system, see
Section 7.5.
After a subscription has been created, certain aspects of the underlying replication system
environment might be subsequently altered for any number of reasons. Attributes that
might change include the network location of the subscription database server, the
network location of the host running the subscription server, database or operating system
user names and passwords, and so forth.
The aforementioned information is saved in the replication system metadata when a
subscription is created. Changes to these attributes result in inaccurate replication system
metadata, which in turn may result in errors during subsequent replication attempts or
replication system administration.
This section describes how to update the metadata stored for the subscription server, the
subscription database definition, and subscriptions in order to keep the information
consistent with the actual replication system environment.
5.5.1 Updating a Subscription Server
When you register a subscription server in the xDB Replication Console, you may choose
to save the subscription server’s network location (IP address and port number), user
name, and encrypted password in a server login file on the computer on which you are
running the xDB Replication Console. See Section 4.2 for information on saving the
login information.
The steps described in this section show you how to update the subscription server’s
login information in the server login file.
It is assumed that the xDB Replication Console is open on your computer and the
subscription server whose login information you wish to alter in the server login file,
appears as a Subscription Server node in the xDB Replication Console’s replication tree.
