Setting up the source database with an online backup

You can prepare to run OpenEdge Replication using an online backup of the source database to create the target database. To enable online backups, you must implement the deferred agent startup mode, which is described in Using the deferred agent startup mode. You also must enable AI on the source database.

Perform the following steps on the source database:

Step1: Create a structure file

Step 2: Enable the database for after-imaging

Step 3: Enable the source database for OpenEdge Replication

Step4: Perform an online backup

Step 5: Configure the OpenEdge Replication server for deferred agent startup
