GOAL:

What is the -REPLTransition parameter?

FACT(s) (Environment):

OpenEdge 10.1x
All Supported Operating Systems
Fathom Replication
OpenEdge Replication

FIX:

The -REPLTransition parameter to prorest was introduced for Fathom Replication in 10.1A.


It is used to allow a backup taken of a replication enabled /*source*/ database to be enabled as a /*target*/ upon restore, not to allow a backup of a target to be a source on restore.


syntax:
$ prorest db-name device-name -REPLTransition
The restored database will then remain enabled as a target, which is indeed the intention.
No warning that the -REPLTransition parameter to prorest is ignored if the backup was taken on a database enabled as a target initially.
