When relocating elements from one replicated VOB to another, observe the
following rules and guidelines:
- Elements to be relocated must be mastered in the current replica and inactive
at all replica sites.
- You must replicate the target VOB at each site that includes the source
VOB. Relocate elements from VOB1 replica to VOB2 at local site; then replicate
VOB2 at each VOB1 replica site. After a relocate operation at site A, cross-VOB
hyperlinks will “dangle” at site B’s replica if either site B does not include
a replica of the target VOB used at site A, or site B has not been updated
by a syncreplica operation since the relocate operation
at site A.
- You must coordinate the relocate operation with the administrators of
all of the VOB’s replicas. For example, if replica A is locked for relocate,
and a checkin happens at replica B in the meantime, that checkin is lost to
replica A.
- Metadata types must be mastered at the local replica before
the relocate command is run. This is required in order for a relocated element
to be successfully re-created with its associated metadata at a remote replica.
- You may need to adjust mastership for metadata type objects. When relocate
copies them to the target VOB, it creates them with local mastership.
