Progress Fathom Replication
User’s Guide
Target database access
The type of access allowed on the target database depends on which Fathom Replication product you have installed and the activity being performed by the Replication agent.
If the Fathom Replication Plus product is installed, the target database can be accessed for read-only use by any process. If updates are attempted, an error will occur.
If the Fathom Replication Plus product is not installed, access to the target database is limited to the following system-level tools shown in Table 2–2.
Limited logins are allowed immediately after the agent completes its startup. Normal logins that allow the access listed in Table 2–2 are allowed after synchronization completes.
If the Fathom Replication agent is transitioning the target database to a normal Progress database, critical system-level commands are allowed to access the database, as shown in Table 2–3.
When transition is complete and the target database becomes a normal Progress database, all traditional database activity is allowed.
Connecting a client to a target database in read-only mode (
-RO
) is never allowed. If the target database transitions to a normal Progress database, read-only mode is allowed.
