Marking a database as up-to-date

You can mark a database definition as up-to-date for a specified transfer set. When you create a database by unpacking a copy of the current database and changing its database identifier, it will already contain all the objects that existed when the database was backed up. Use this feature to stop objects from being sent unnecessarily to an existing database during replication.

Before you begin

The current database must be initialized to use DCM.

You must be working as the DCM manager or administrator to use this feature.

About this task

ccm dcm -mark_up_to_date -dbid|-database_id database_spec 
        -ts|-transfer_set transfer_set_spec [-force] [date]
-database_id database_spec
Specifies to generate the destination database for the transfer package. You can set the database_spec to a single database definition. See Database specification for details.
date
Specifies the date that the database is up-to-date. By default, Synergy uses the current date and time. If a database was created by unpacking a backup of another database, you can use the date and time of the backup as the date for this command. Any changes made after that data will not exist in the copied database.
-force
Specifies that the operation will succeed even if the specified transfer set and destination database have generated previous packages. By default, the operation will succeed only if the transfer set and destination database have never generated a transfer package.
-ts|-transfer_set transfer_set_spec
Specifies the transfer set to mark as up-to-date for the specified destination database. You can set the transfer_set_spec to a single transfer set. For details, see Transfer set specification.
