Hi,

Does anyone knows if in peer-to-peer, update-anywhere replication configuration, when I need to modify the schema, say add a new table or add/modify a column of an existing table, do I have to put the replicated systems or environment into a quiescient state (whereby only select is allowed and insert/delete/update are not allowed)?

Also, does anyone know how I can to put the replicated systems into the quiescient state? Do I do a suspend or stop?

Thanks.

If you add a new table, you don't have to stop ER (Enterprise Replication).

The new table is not known to any existing replication
definitions. You can also define a replicate on this
new table afterwards without stopping ER.

Modifying the schema of an existing table is not allowed
as long as a replicate is defined on that table.
You need to stop that replicate, modify your table and
re-start the replicate. However you don't need to stop
the whole ER.

You will find more information in the "IDS Enterprise Replication
Guide".
