ALTER_CATCHUP_PARAMETERS Procedure

This procedure alters the values for the following parameters stored in the DBA_REPEXTENSIONS data dictionary view:

• percentage_for_catchup_mdef

• cycle_seconds_mdef

• percentage_for_catchup_new

• cycle_seconds_new

These parameters were originally set by the ADD_NEW_MASTERS procedure. The new values you specify for these parameters are used during the remaining steps in the process of adding new master sites to a master group. These changes are only to the site at which it is executed. Therefore, it must be executed at each master site, including the master definition site, if you want to alter parameters at all sites.

Syntax

DBMS_REPCAT.ALTER_CATCHUP_PARAMETERS (
   extension_id                  IN    RAW,   
   percentage_for_catchup_mdef   IN    BINARY_INTEGER  := NULL,
   cycle_seconds_mdef            IN    BINARY_INTEGER  := NULL,    
   percentage_for_catchup_new    IN    BINARY_INTEGER  := NULL,    
   cycle_seconds_new             IN    BINARY_INTEGER  := NULL);

Parameters

Table 48-15 ALTER_CATCHUP_PARAMETERS Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
extension_id	The identifier for the current pending request to add master database without quiesce. You can find the extension_id by querying the DBA_REPSITES_NEW and DBA_REPEXTENSIONS data dictionary views.
percentage_for_catchup_mdef	The percentage of propagation resources that should be used for catching up propagation to the master definition site. Must be a multiple of 10 and must be between 0 and 100.
cycle_seconds_mdef	This parameter is meaningful when percentage_for_catchup_mdef is both meaningful and set to a value between 10 and 90, inclusive. In this case, propagation to the masterdef alternates between replication groups that are not being extended and replication groups that are being extended, with one push to each during each cycle. This parameter indicates the length of the cycle in seconds.
percentage_for_catchup_new	The percentage of propagation resources that should be used for catching up propagation to new master sites. Must be a multiple of 10 and must be between 0 and 100.
cycle_seconds_new	This parameter is meaningful when percentage_for_catchup_new is both meaningful and set to a value between 10 and 90, inclusive. In this case, propagation to a new master alternates between replication groups that are not being extended and replication groups that are being extended, with one push to each during each cycle. This parameter indicates the length of the cycle in seconds.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
typefailure	The parameter value specified for one of the parameters is not appropriate.
dbnotcompatible	Feature is incompatible with database version. All databases must be at 9.0.0 or higher compatibility level.
