Restart MultiSite synchronization and Rational Shipping Servers

About this task

If you have a MultiSite configuration, you must restart and verify all synchronization servers and Rational® Shipping Servers in your configuration. Then the sites can synchronize their databases periodically.

Procedure

  1. To restart and verify the synchronization servers and Rational Shipping Servers, on each synchronization server, start the jobs that run the multiutil syncreplica –export and the multiutil syncreplica –import commands.
  2. If you are using the Rational Shipping Server software, start it on each Rational Shipping Server system.
  3. Export packets from one MultiSite site and import them to another site by using the Rational Shipping Server. Verify that changes from the source site are available on the destination site.

What to do next

When you upgrade the working master site (the first site that you upgrade), export any changes you made with synchronization packets. When you upgrade each secondary site, import those packets from the working master. If any test fails, diagnose and fix the problem, restart the synchronization and Rational Shipping Servers, and repeat the test.
