These are all optional to use, but provide 82 useful functionality under the right circumstances. 83 </p> 84 <p> 85 These additional features are: 86 </p> 87 <div class="orderedlist"> 88 <ol type="1"> 89 <li> 90 <p> 91 <a href="addfeatures.html#delayedsync">Delayed Synchronization</a> 92 </p> 93 </li> 94 <li> 95 <p> 96 <a href="manageblock.html">Managing Blocking Operations</a> 97 </p> 98 </li> 99 <li> 100 <p> 101 <a href="noautoinit.html">Stop Auto-Initialization</a> 102 </p> 103 </li> 104 <li> 105 <p> 106 <a href="c2ctransfer.html">Client to Client Transfer</a> 107 </p> 108 </li> 109 <li> 110 <p> 111 <a href="bulk.html">Bulk Transfers</a> 112 </p> 113 </li> 114 </ol> 115 </div> 116 <div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> 117 <div class="titlepage"> 118 <div> 119 <div> 120 <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="delayedsync"></a>Delayed Synchronization</h2> 121 </div> 122 </div> 123 <div></div> 124 </div> 125 <p> 126 When a replication group has a new master, all replicas must 127 synchronize with that master. This means they must ensure 128 that the contents of their local database(s) are identical 129 to that contained by the new master. 130 </p> 131 <p> 132 This synchronization process can result in quite a lot of 133 network activity. It can also put a large strain on the 134 master server, especially if is part of a large 135 replication group or if there is somehow a large difference between 136 the master's database(s) and the contents of its replicas. 137 </p> 138 <p> 139 It is therefore possible to delay synchronization for any 140 replica that discovers it has a new master. You would do 141 this so as to give the master time to synchronize other 142 replicas before proceeding with the delayed replicas. 143 </p> 144 <p> 145 To delay synchronization of a replica environment, you 146 specify 147 148 <span> 149 <tt class="literal">ReplicationConfig.DELAYCLIENT</tt> and 150 <tt class="literal">true</tt> to 151 <tt class="methodname">Environment.setReplicationConfig()</tt>. 152 To turn off delayed synchronization, specify 153 <tt class="literal">false</tt> for the 154 <tt class="literal">ReplicationConfig.DELAYCLIENT</tt> field. 155 </span> 156 </p> 157 <p> 158 If you use delayed synchronization, then you must manually 159 synchronize the replica at some future time. Until you do this, the replica is out of 160 sync with the master, and it will ignore all database changes forwarded to it from 161 the master. 162 </p> 163 <p> 164 You synchronize a delayed replica by calling 165 166 167 <tt class="methodname">Environment.syncReplication()</tt> 168 on the replica that has been delayed. 169 </p> 170 </div> 171 </div> 172 <div class="navfooter"> 173 <hr /> 174 <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> 175 <tr> 176 <td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="exampledoloop.html">Prev</a>��</td> 177 <td width="20%" align="center"> 178 <a accesskey="u" href="index.html">Up</a> 179 </td> 180 <td width="40%" align="right">��<a accesskey="n" href="manageblock.html">Next</a></td> 181 </tr> 182 <tr> 183 <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Example Processing Loop��</td> 184 <td width="20%" align="center"> 185 <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a> 186 </td> 187 <td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">��Managing Blocking Operations</td> 188 </tr> 189 </table> 190 </div> 191 </body> 192</html> 193
