About editing a DCM database definition

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:

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.
