Your access to a destination database is controlled
by the DCM database definition in the source database. If the destination
database properties change, you can edit its DCM database definition
in the source database.
For example, suppose
you can now perform a remote copy to a database to which you have
performed only manual transfers in the past. By editing its destination
database definition, you can change its transfer mode from Manual
Copy to Remote Copy.
As a second example, suppose
a database is moved to a different machine or its host name is changed.
In such cases, it is necessary to edit the destination database definition
in all databases that send data to it.
You can
change these properties in a DCM database definition:
- Database ID
- Database description, location, admin contact info
- Database ID hidden or visible settings
- Database can be used as a destination database setting
- Handover allowed
- Receive options
- Transfer mode (and its related parameters)
- Compression setting
Note: Changes to an existing database definition
are typically the result of a change notification from the destination
database administrator. To ensure data integrity, inform this person
of any changes made to the destination database definition.
