Recommendations for Reconfiguring (User dBs)

Running Global Projects

It is recommended that, when reconfiguring databases, the SAMEREF option be used. Using this option makes sure that referencing databases are unaffected.

Take care when reconfiguring project databases. Databases can only be reconfigured at their primary locations. It is important to note that when a project database is reconfigured, the database sessions will effectively be lost. Thus the ability for Global to send only session changes is lost as well.

It is therefore recommended that the REMOTE MERGE command is used to synchronise and merge the database at all secondary locations (unless the database is non-propagating). This prevents propagation of the entire database on the next update.

It is also recommended that there are no users in the database at the primary location when reconfiguring back to the Sameref database.
