UniVerse Replication EXCLUDED_FILE in repconfig

Hi All,

Query regarding replication:
We are aware there is an EXCLUDE_FILE config in repconfig which can be used to exclude a file but we are not looking to exclude all the records of that file instead just a single record of that file which is created every morning.
Kindly suggest if there is any way to do so.

Currently there is no configuarable in U2 Replication that will allow you to exclude an item within a replicated file.

For a completely Heath Robinson approach, you could redefine your file as a distributed file with this item in its own part file and don't replicate that part... (crazy but it's a Friday)

Brian,

Another Heath-Robinson option would be to make the subscriber sub-writeable, allow triggers, and add a write trigger program that rejects writes for a specific record - but only on an active subscriber.

Regards

JJ

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
There is a record in &UFD& which is causing us the issues while doing replication.

Can we just go ahead and exclude &UFD&. Will there be any impact on the system if we exclude &UFD&, please suggest.

Hi Shubham,

By default, the &UFD& file is excluded for an account level group as defined in the repacct.def file.

# cat repacct.def | grep UFD
EXCLUDED_FILE=&UFD&

So I don't see any reason why excluding it would cause any issue. Was there a specific reason it was included in the first place?

Thanks,

Neil
