SharePlex 9.2.6 - Reference Guide

verify config

The verify config command is intended for use as a preventive measure to avoid certain activation and replication problems. It is intended to be used to test activation to ensure that it will complete successfully.

The verify config command verifies tables and sequences only.

This command can be used to:

• Verify the syntax of the entries in the configuration file.
• Report an error if the source object is not supported for replication by SharePlex.
• Report if a host name specified in a route is unreachable.
• Report if there are duplicate specifications for a single object.
• Report if an object specification will be skipped and the reason why.
• List the qualifying objects included under wildcard specifications.

What the verify config command does not support

The verify config command does not:

• Verify activation time.
• Verify target objects or the target SID.

Verifying added or changed objects in an active configuration

To verify objects that you want to add to an active configuration or objects that you want to change (such as routing changes), it is suggested that you copy and modify the active configuration and then run the verify command against that copy.

Using with partitioned replication

You can use the verify config command for configurations containing tables that use partitioned replication. While SharePlex supports the use of verify config with partitioned replication, it does not include any additional functionality for verifying partitions or their definition.

Viewing the results of the verification

The verify config command retains control of the sp_ctrl interface until the verification is completed.

The command will read the entire config file, logging errors and duplicates, and expanding objects falling under wildcards.

The results of the verify are displayed to the screen within sp_ctrl. If you would like to view detailed results you may:

• Issue the verify config command in sp_ctrl using the detail option
• Navigate to the results file directly using the path displayed to the screen after issuing the verify config command.

view config

Use the view config command to view the contents of an active or inactive configuration file from within the sp_ctrl interface.

Use it when:

• You suspect that an incorrectly written configuration could be causing activation or replication problems.
• You want to know which objects are being replicated and how the routes are configured.

Note: To edit a configuration, use the edit config command. To change an active configuration, it is recommended that you copy it with the copy config command and then edit the copy.
