28<b>Description: DbEnv::rep_sync</b>
29<p>The DbEnv::rep_sync method forces master synchronization to begin for this
30client.  This method is the other half of setting the
31<a href="../api_cxx/rep_config.html#DB_REP_CONF_DELAYCLIENT">DB_REP_CONF_DELAYCLIENT</a> flag via the <a href="../api_cxx/rep_config.html">DbEnv::rep_set_config</a> method.</p>
32<p>If an application has configured delayed master synchronization, the
33application must synchronize explicitly (otherwise the client will
34remain out-of-date and will ignore all database changes forwarded from
35the replication group master).  The DbEnv::rep_sync method may be called any
36time after the client application learns that the new master has been
37established (by receiving a <a href="../api_cxx/env_event_notify.html#DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER">DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER</a> event
38notification).</p>
39<p>The DbEnv::rep_sync method may not be called before the <a href="../api_cxx/env_open.html">DbEnv::open</a> method is called.</p>
40<p>The DbEnv::rep_sync method
41either returns a non-zero error value
42or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
43failure, and returns 0 on success.
