Disabling and Stopping Replications

Disabling a Replication

To prevent a particular replication from running, in the Management Center:

1. Display the Replication Browser tab.

2. Select the replication you want to modify.

3. On the right mouse button menu, uncheck the Enable Replication option.

If the replication is part of a group, all replications in the group are disabled.

Stopping the Replication Agent

To stop all replications from running, on your Windows desktop:

1. Select the Syniti DR Service Monitor icon in the Windows Notification Area.

2. From the right mouse button menu, choose Replication Agent then Stop.

Alternatively, you can manage the Replication Agent service from the Windows Services dialog. On your Windows desktop, choose Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

Consequences of Disabling or Stopping Replication

If a Refresh replication is interrupted by disabling the replication or stopping the Replication Agent, it will restart from the beginning once the replication is enabled again.

If a transactional replication is interrupted by disabling the replication or stopping the Replication Agent, it will restart from the point at which it was interrupted once the replication is enabled again. The transaction ID for the last transaction executed is stored in the metadata, and retrieved once the replication resumes.
