Valid for
Extract
Description
Use GETMARKERS
or IGNOREMARKERS
to include or exclude marker records from the specified EXTFILE
.
Marker records are special audit records created by users with the GGSCI command ADD MARKER
. You can use marker records to identify application-specific critical points in Extract and Replicat processing.
The most common use of a marker is to identify a point at which all data has been replicated from a source to a target database. To do this, an operator brings down application activity against the source database, then adds a marker. After seeing a message that the marker was processed by Replicat, you can safely assume all records from the source database have been processed. At this point, for example, a hot site switch to the backup database could safely occur.
