ALTER_MASTER_PROPAGATION Procedure

This procedure alters the propagation method for a specified replication group at a specified master site. This replication group must be quiesced. You must call this procedure from the master definition site. If the master appears in the dblink_list or dblink_table, then ALTER_MASTER_PROPAGATION ignores that database link. You cannot change the propagation mode from a master to itself.

Syntax

DBMS_REPCAT.ALTER_MASTER_PROPAGATION (
   gname               IN   VARCHAR2, 
   master              IN   VARCHAR2,
   { dblink_list       IN   VARCHAR2, 
   | dblink_table      IN   DBMS_UTILITY.DBLINK_ARRAY,}
   propagation_mode    IN   VARCHAR2 : ='ASYNCHRONOUS',
   comment             IN   VARCHAR2 := '');

Note: This procedure is overloaded. The dblink_list and dblink_table parameters are mutually exclusive.
