Resolution
On Windows:
For the ACE/Server to automatically push the database to the replica, start by checking Database Administration --> System --> Edit System Parameters; the 'Allow DB-Push' checkbox is selected.
1. Using Explorer, or other method delete the folder (directory) ace\data\replica_package\ {replica_package}
2. Go to Control Panel --> RSA ACE/Server and Stop the ACE/Server
3. Go to Start --> Programs --> RSA ACE Server --> Replication Management
a. Click on the (last) replica {highlighting it}
b. Click the button Generate Replica Package
c. Click Exit
4. Go to Control Panel --> RSA ACE/Server and Start the ACE/Server. The database will be pushed to the Replica after the replication interval has passed.
On UNIX:
1. In RSA ACE/Server Administration on the Primary server, select the System menu, and make sure the 'Allow DB-Push' checkbox is checked
2. Stop the Primary ACE/Server
3. First, remove the current replica_package directory in your system path .../ace/data/replica_package/ on the Primary (if any exist from previous packages). Generate a Replica Package for any/all Replicas being configured at this time:
cd .../ace/prog
./sdrepmgmt add
The fully qualified name of the Replica
securidprop_0x {x= number of the current replica package I.E. 2 for second replica}
550x {x= 5505 plus the number of the current replica package I.E. 5507 for second replica}
Accept all default from here out.
./sdsetup -package
Enter the same name of the Replica as it appears in the Replica Table - ./sdrepmgmt list will show you exactly how you have it set up - regardless of whether the name is Fully Qualified or shortened.
4. Restart the Primary
5. tar -crvf the replica_package directory located on the Primary you just created
6. FTP this file, (in binary mode), to the Replica
7. With the replica_package on this host, install the Replica ACE/Server using the ./sdsetup -replica command. You will be prompted to the location of the replica_package: IE. If your package is residing in your /tmp file, you must point to the absolute path and name of the Replica package - /tmp/replica_package
