Setting up SQL Remote Open Server

This section describes how to set up a SQL Remote installation using the

SQL Remote Open Server. The procedure depends on whether the

SQL Remote stable queue is being kept in a separate Adaptive Server

Enterprise database from the tables being replicated or in the same Adaptive

Server Enterprise database.

For more information about stable queue location, see “The stable queue” on page 265 .

Initial copies of the data The setup procedure assumes you are using the extraction utility to produce an initial copy of the data in each remote database. You must be sure not to use the Replication Server materialization feature for this purpose.

The procedure for setting up SQL Remote Open Server has two stages:

Prepare a SQL Remote setup This stage depends on whether you have an existing SQL Remote installation or not.

Add the SQL Remote Open Server to the setup This stage is the

same regardless of previous installations.

To prepare your SQL Remote setup, if you have an existing SQL Remote installation

1.On a quiet primary database, use the Message Agent to scan any remaining transactions into the stable queue.

A quiet database is one where neither the Message Agent nor the SQL Remote Open Server is running, and where no transactions are being replicated.

2.Follow the steps in the section “Upgrading SQL Remote for Adaptive Server Enterprise” on page 25 to upgrade your SQL Remote software at the consolidated site.

3.Invalidate the Message Agent truncation point at the consolidated database using the following command:

dbcc settrunc( ’ltm’, ’ignore’ )

4.At the stable queue database, execute the stored procedure sp_queue_log_transfer_reset.
