Deleting a Replicate

To delete a replicate from the global catalog, use the cdr delete replicate command.

About this task

When you delete a replicate, Enterprise Replication purges all replication data for the replicate from the send queue at all participating database servers.

For example, to delete the sales_data replicate from the global catalog, enter:
cdr delete replicate sales_data
Warning: Avoid deleting a replicate and immediately recreating it with the same name. If you recreate the objects immediately (before the operation finishes propagating to the other Enterprise Replication database servers in the network), failures might occur in the Enterprise Replication system at the time of the operation or later. For more information, see Asynchronous propagation conflicts.
Important: If you are creating a replicate to replace the one you deleted, use the cdr check queue --qname=ctrlq command to make sure that the delete operation propagated to all the servers.
