Resuming Replication After Siebel Analytics Web Server Downtime

If a Siebel Analytics Web server is offline for a time period in excess of that configured with the LogExpiresHours entry in the configuration file, then it is not possible to synchronize its contents using the sawrepa run command. The Siebel Analytics Web Replication Agent then disables all corresponding replication tasks.

You can resume replication by copying over the Web Catalog folders that the server subscribes to, and then removing and restoring the Replication flags. However, this method loses the catalog contents that were not replicated to other servers. The following method preserves all catalog contents.

To resume replication

1. Use the CatalogBrowser utility to erase all replication logs (/system/replication node).
2. Start the server.
3. Remove the Replication flag using the sawrepa mark <servername> /n command.
4. Delete or rename folders that are replicated from other servers and copy them over from other servers using the sawrepa remotecopy command.
5. Restore the Replication flag using the sawrepa mark <servername> command.
6. Reenable replication tasks by editing the configuration file to delete the lastPerformed attribute from ReplicationTask elements that have the Siebel Analytics Web server as an import or export target.
