8.3 xDB Replication Server CLI Commands
This section provides a description, syntax diagram, and examples of each xDB
Replication Server CLI command.
Commands are presented in the order in which they will typically be used, following the
order in which xDB Replication Console operations are performed.
Note: Though most commands described in this section apply to both single-master and
multi-master replication systems, those commands that apply only to single-master
replication systems are noted with For SMR only. Those commands that apply only to
multi-master replication systems are noted with For MMR only. The same notation is
used for command parameters that may apply only to single-master replication systems or
multi-master replication systems.
For the examples used in this section, it is assumed that the xDB Replication Server CLI
commands are executed after you have made XDB_HOME/bin your current working
directory, thereby eliminating the need to specify the full path of XDB_HOME/bin for
each execution of the edb-repcli.jar file. For example, assuming xDB Replication
Server is installed in your Postgres installation directory (that is, XDB_HOME is the same
directory as POSTGRES_INSTALL_HOME) you have issued the following command in
Linux:
cd /opt/PostgresPlus/9.1AS/bin
In Windows, the equivalent is the following:
cd C:\Program Files\PostgresPlus\9.1AS\bin
Whenever the repsvrfile parameter appears in the examples, file ~/pubsvrfile
contains the publication server login information and is located in the user’s home
directory while ~/subsvrfile contains the subscription server login information.
The examples in this section were run on Linux so you will see use of the Linux
continuation character, which is a backslash (\), to show how an xDB Replication Server
CLI command can be continued onto the next line if you do not want to wrap the text in
your terminal window. For Windows, use the Windows continuation character, which is a
caret (^).
