Progress Fathom Replication
User’s Guide

> ## Target database shutdown

> You can perform either a non-forced or a forced shutdown of your target database.

> To perform a non-forced explicit shutdown, enter the following command:

>     PROSHUT target_db_name -by

> The following occur:

> 1. All processes other than the broker and Fathom Replication agent are shut down.

> 2. The broker flushes all database activity.

> 3. After database activity has been flushed to disk, the Fathom Replication agent informs the Fathom Replication server that it has been shut down. If this is the only Fathom Replication agent serviced by the Fathom Replication server, the Fathom Replication server will shut down. If this Fathom Replication agent was configured as a critical Fathom Replication agent, even if there are additional Fathom Replication agents, the Fathom Replication server will shut down.

> 4. When the Fathom Replication agent has completed its processing, the target database will complete its shutdown.

> To perform a forced shutdown, enter the following command:

>     PROSHUT target_db_name -byF

> The database will immediately shut down with a warning placed in the log file. With a forced shutdown, the AI buffers are not flushed. After a forced shutdown, the source and target database are not considered to be identical. At this point, Fathom Replication stops and you must follow the steps in the "Fathom Replication startup and initialization process" section to restart it.
