Change Configuration Server

You can change the location of the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine configuration server.

At the time of installation, each Replication Engine is configured as a control service Replication Engine. Each Oracle MaxRep configuration that is replicating data includes only one Replication Engine that acts as the control service Replication Engine. During installation, direct any additional Replication Engines to this control service Replication Engine. After initial installation, changing the control service is uncommon. Oracle recommends that you contact Oracle Customer Support before moving the configuration server in these circumstances.

  1. Log in to the Support User Interface page on the control service Replication Engine.
    Result:
    The Dashboard page displays.
  2. Select Management Tasks > Change Configuration Server.
  3. From the Host list, select the Replication Engine that is running the Oracle MaxRep replication services.
  4. Enter the IP address or DNS name of the desired Replication Engine host in the Primary Configuration Server IP field.
  5. To save your changes, click Save Details.

When you save your changes, the system displays the Task Status page. You can monitor the task progress and, in some cases, cancel the change from this page.
