Starting a Replicate task using the saved checkpoint
In order to start a task from the checkpoint saved in the task's metadata (usually in a post-upgrade or new server scenario) the following steps should be taken
- On the Replicate server, open a command prompt as Administrator, and navigate to the Replicate bin directory
-
Run the following command:
repctl.exe getcheckpoint task=<task_name>.The checkpoint value outputted should be copied to a text file for use in the next step - Run the following command using the value from the previous command as the checkpoint value:
repctl.exe execute <task_name> flags=09 operation=02 cdcposition=<checkpoint value>
