GETREPLICATES | IGNOREREPLICATES
Valid for
Extract
Description
Use GETREPLICATES
or IGNOREREPLICATES
to include or exclude records created by Replicat. GETREPLICATES
remains in effect until IGNOREREPLICATES
is entered. Once entered, IGNOREREPLICATES
remains in effect until GETREPLICATES
is entered.
Use IGNOREREPLICATES
when two files are delivering different data to each other. For example, assume A
replicates to B
and B
replicates to A
. When A
sends an insert record to B
, Extract detects the replicated record and extracts it from B
. In turn, Replicat replicates it back to A
, which produces an error (duplicate record). Specify IGNOREREPLICATES
to discard the replicated record.
GETREPLICATES
can cascade replication through a chain of files. For example, if A
replicates to B
, and B
replicates to C
, IGNOREREPLICATES
would prevent data from A
being replicated at C
. GETREPLICATES
enables this to happen.
Even with GETREPLICATES
set, you can avoid delivering back to the source by using WHERE
or FILTER
clauses in Extract or Replicat.
See "GETAPPLOPS | IGNOREAPPLOPS" for information on using GETAPPLOPS
and IGNOREAPPLOPS
to include or exclude records not created by Replicat.
