Updating the Database Replication Retry Count

In case of network outages, Oracle Communications Unified Assurance retries the synchronization between primary and secondary Event databases up to 4320 times.

You can use RedundancyWizard to set the retry count to the default value, or to another number. Because earlier releases (7.0.0.2.0 or earlier) had a lower retry count setting, you must do this after upgrading to release 7.0.0.3.0 or later.

Updating the Retry Count

  1. From the primary Event database server in the redundant pair, run the following command as the root user:

    $A1BASEDIR/bin/redundancy/RedundancyWizard --UpdateReplSettings 
    
  2. When prompted for the source retry count, press Enter to accept the default value of 4320.

    RedundancyWizard updates the setting on the primary and redundant server.

You can alternatively use the unattended option by running the following command as the root user:

$A1BASEDIR/bin/redundancy/RedundancyWizard --UpdateReplSettings --Unattended --SourceRetryCount=<N>

where <N> is a positive integer.

Note:

To use the --SourceRetryCount option, you must always also include the --UpdateReplSettings option.

Verifying the Updated Value

Run the following command as the assure1 user:

a1dbroot Event -e "SHOW REPLICA STATUS\G" | egrep "Source_Host|Source_Retry_Count|Connect_Retry|Replica_IO_Running|Replica_SQL_Running|Seconds_Behind_Source|Last_IO_Error"
