#include <db_cxx.h> int DbEnv::rep_sync(u_int32_t flags);
The DbEnv::rep_sync() method forces master synchronization to begin
for this client. This method is the other half of setting the
DB_REP_CONF_DELAYCLIENT
flag via the DbEnv::rep_set_config()
method.
If an application has configured delayed master synchronization, the
application must synchronize explicitly (otherwise the client will
remain out-of-date and will ignore all database changes forwarded from
the replication group master). The DbEnv::rep_sync() method may be
called any time after the client application learns that the new
master has been established (by receiving a
DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER
event notification).
Before calling this method, the enclosing database environment must already have been opened by calling the DbEnv::open() method and must already have been configured to send replication messages by calling the DbEnv::rep_set_transport() method.
The DbEnv::rep_sync()
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
The DbEnv::rep_sync()
method may fail and throw a DbException
exception, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one
of the following non-zero errors:
If master synchronization requires an internal initialization but automatic
internal initializations have been disabled by setting the
DB_REP_CONF_AUTOINIT
flag to 0.
If the database environment was not already configured to communicate with a replication group by a call to DbEnv::rep_set_transport(); the database environment was not already opened; or if an invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
