RESUME_SUBSET_OF_MASTERS procedure

This procedure resumes replication activity at all existing sites except the new site during offline instantiation of a replicated master group. You must call this procedure from the master definition site.

Note:
This procedure is used in performing an offline instantiation of a master table in a multimaster replication environment.
This procedure should not be confused with the procedures in the DBMS_OFFLINE_SNAPSHOT package (used for performing an offline instantiation of a snapshot) or with the procedures in the DBMS_REPCAT_INSTANTIATE package (used for instantiating a deployment template). See these respective packages for more information on their use.
