SECONDARY_SCAN Keyword

     SECONDARY_SCAN={ON|OFF}

This keyword controls the scanning of the server's current file list. By default this keyword is set to OFF. When this keyword is set to ON, files on any secondary or backup replication data managers are scanned using the current file list and the following scanning actions are performed:

1. Any files or directories in the current file list that have been deleted from the secondary or backup system are restored from the primary replication data manager.

2. Any files that have been changed are restored from the primary replication data manager.

3. When additional files or directories are detected on the secondary or backup replication data managers and these files do not exist in the current file list, they are renamed using the '_<filename>.<count>' format.

This keyword is only specified in the [replication] section of the SUNDM CFG file for the Primary data manager.

Example:

     SECONDARY_SCAN=ON

In this example, server processing will occur as describe above.

Note the following:

The flags in the HOSTnn keyword override the global SECONDARY_SCAN keyword setting. When the SECONDARY_SCAN keyword is used, it takes affect for all secondary or backup replication data managers. However, this keyword can be turned off or on for individual servers by appending additional configuration flag settings to the end of the HOSTnn keywords. This is done by appending a ':' (colon) character after the port number and flags that can be set or cleared. The flags are represented by alpha characters in a comma separated list. A leading '-' (hyphen) character indicates that the flag is to be cleared.

The flags controlling the SECONDARY_SCAN process are:

Examples:

HOST01=N999999:192.168.110.99:3934:S

HOST02=N999999:192.168.110.98:3934:-S
