Description
Change an active configuration file
Many procedures that change an element of the replication environment will also involve changing the SharePlex configuration file. SharePlex does not permit anyone to edit an active configuration file. You must make a copy first. By copying the file first, you preserve the original file in case it is needed again or you encounter a problem with the new file. By copying the file first, you also can control when to activate the new configuration file. -
Resolution
RESOLUTIONUnless you are adding numerous objects to a configuration or adding tables with extensive chaining, activation of an edited configuration is less time-consuming than the original activation if you do not deactivate the original configuration. The activation of the new configuration automatically deactivates the original configuration, and SharePlex only needs to analyze the new, changed, and removed objects. If you deactivate the original configuration before you activate a new one, SharePlex re-analyzes all of the objects.It is recommended to create a backup of your current active config file before editing with any new change.Re-activating the current config file after any change is less time consuming in comparison to activating a new config file.Please refer to the "Change a configuration file" in administration guide for more details.
