Activating and Deactivating Replication Subscriptions

You can control the active status of a replication subscription. This feature is useful when you want to temporarily deactivate a replication subscription without removing it. When you deactivate a replication subscription, the Apply program completes its current processing cycle and then stops.

To deactivate a replication subscription:

1. Select the Replication Subscriptions folder from the object tree. The replication subscriptions appear in the contents pane.

2. Verify that the replication subscription is active by looking at the status icon to the left of the replication subscription object that you want to deactivate. Figure 31 shows activated and deactivated replication subscriptions.

   Figure 31. The active and inactive icons. The active and inactive icons show which replication subscriptions have been activated and deactivated.
   
   
   

   The first two are active, the second two are inactive.

   If the icon for the replication subscription that you are working with shows that the replication subscription is active, continue to the next step. If the icon is inactive, do not continue with this task because the replication subscription is already inactive.

3. In the contents pane, select the replication subscription object that you want to deactivate and select Activate/Deactivate from the pop-up menu.

The replication subscription is deactivated, and the status icon is updated to reflect the change.

To reactivate a deactivated replication subscription:

1. Select the Replication Subscriptions folder from the object tree. The replication subscriptions appear in the contents pane.

2. Verify that the replication subscription is inactive by looking at the status icon to the left of the replication subscription object that you want to activate. If the icon shows that the replication subscription is inactive, continue to the next step. If the icon is active, do not continue with this task because the replication subscription is already active.

3. In the contents pane, select the replication subscription object that you want to reactivate and select Activate/Deactivate from the pop-up menu.

The replication subscription is reactivated and the status icon is updated to reflect the change.
