Updating database definitions in remote databases

After upgrading a database to Release 7.2 or later from Release 7.0, 7.1, 7.1a, 7.2 or later, you must update the DCM database definitions. You must update the definitions for that database in all the other databases in the DCM cluster that have a definition for it.

About this task

Advise databases administrators at other geographic sites of the changes required. Ensure that these changes have been performed before resuming DCM replication between the upgraded database and those other databases.

You or the remote administrator must perform the following checks and steps.

Procedure

  1. Identify all databases in the cluster that can replicate directly or indirectly with the upgraded 7.2 or later database. Verify that all these databases have been upgraded to 7.2 or later, or are running 7.0, 7.1, 7.1a, 7.2 or later with required patches.
  2. If you have moved the database to a new location, verify that the database path in the DCM database definition reflects the new location.
  3. If you used the auto-receive option, verify that the CCM_HOME setting is updated to reflect your new Release 7.2 or later installation directory.
