Replication set rules

A replication set defines what directories/files are to be protected by Storage Mirroring. By default,

Application Manager selects all of the necessary directories/files to protect BlackBerry based on your

source server configuration. These include the BlackBerry application data and transaction logs,

tempdb files, and BlackBerry error logs. By default, the Application Manager-generated replication

set will be named

BB_<source server>_<target server>

.

You should only modify the replication set rules if there are additional directories/files specific to your

configuration that must also be protected with BlackBerry. Modifying the default configuration for

replication set rules may affect whether data can be successfully replicated. Do not modify the

replication set unless you are very familiar with Storage Mirroring and BlackBerry.
To change the replication set rules:

1.

Select the Override Generated Rules checkbox.

2.

To add a replication set rule, click Add. The Add Repset Rule dialog box will appear.

3.

In the Rule Path field, type the directory that you want to protect or exclude.

4.

In the Include/Exclude area, select whether to include or exclude the path from the replication

set.

5.

In the Recursive area, select whether the directory should be recursive (protecting all

sub-folders under the directory) or non-recursive (protecting only the files in the directory).

6.

Click Add.

7.

When you have entered all of your replication set rules, click Close to return to the Advanced

configuration tab.

8.

To remove a rule, select one or more rules, then click Remove.

9.

To reset the rules to the auto-generated rules and to re-enable the Protected Databases control,

remove the selection from the Override Generated Rules checkbox.

Failover/failback scripts

Scripts are executed at different points during the failover/failback process to perform the actions

necessary to make BlackBerry available on the appropriate server. attaching/detaching databases,
Editing scripts is an advanced feature. Do not edit scripts unless you fully understand what each

command is doing.

NOTE:

When this box is selected, the Protected Databases control on the Connection tab will

be disabled. For more information, see

Protected Databases

on page 8-11.

NOTE:

You will need to manually verify that the rule path is correct since the Application

Manager does not validate rule paths.

NOTE:

Removing rules that were automatically added by Application Manager could impact

the success of failover. Any changes to rules should be thoroughly tested.
