Disabling (or stopping) synchronization

You can disable, or stop, synchronization on a main or remote database.

From the main database, there are two ways for an Administrator or Manager user to disable synchronization:

  • You can disable synchronization for a remote database and allow one last synchronization before the remote database is disabled. The remote database will receive a notification statement in the synchronization log that synchronization has been disabled and one last synchronization session will occur. Once you disable a remote database, you cannot enable it to synchronize again. You must re-create the database.

  • You can disable synchronization on the main database. To do this, you must first disable all active remote databases.

From the remote database, an Administrator or Manager user can disable the remote database so that it no longer synchronizes to the main database. Once a remote database has been disabled for synchronization, it is no longer a remote database. If you subsequently enable synchronization on this database, it will now be a host or main database with all the synchronization tasks of a main database.
