ForceConnect

Specifies whether a connection is allowed to a failed database if it is not properly restored from the corresponding subscriber database.

When return receipt replication is used with the NONDURABLE TRANSMIT option, a failed master database is allowed to recover only by restoring its state from a subscriber database using the -duplicate option of the ttRepAdmin utility. In other words, the failed database cannot just come up and have replication bring it up to date because it may lose some transactions that were transmitted to the subscriber but not durably committed locally. The ForceConnect connection attribute overrides this restriction.

The ttConfiguration built-in procedure does not return the value of the ForceConnect attribute.

Required Privilege
