<p>
JE HA environments log files contain information and data
used only by replication. Non-replicated environments are
lacking this information, so in order to use a
previously-existing non-replicated environment in an HA
application, it must undergo a one time conversion.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you try to open a non-replicated environment as a
replicated environment, the operation will throw an
<a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html" target="_top">UnsupportedOperationException</a>. This is the only way your
code can tell if an environment needs to be converted.
</p>
</div>
<p>
You use the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/util/DbEnableReplication.html" target="_top">DbEnableReplication</a> class to perform this
one-time conversion. This class is particularly useful if you
want to prototype a standalone transactional application, and
then add in replication after the transactional application is
working as desired.
</p>
<p>
The conversion process is one-way; once an environment
directory is converted, the rules that govern
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicatedEnvironment.html" target="_top">ReplicatedEnvironment</a> apply. This means the environment can
no longer be opened for writes by a standalone <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html" target="_top">Environment</a> handle
(however, it still can be opened by a standalone
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html" target="_top">Environment</a> handle in read-only mode).
</p>
<p>
Note that <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/util/DbEnableReplication.html" target="_top">DbEnableReplication</a> only adds a minimum amount of
replication metadata. The conversion process is not in any way
dependent on the size of the environment you are converting.
</p>
<p>
The converted environment can be used to start a new
replication group. After conversion, the environment can be
opened as a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicatedEnvironment.html" target="_top">ReplicatedEnvironment</a>. Additional nodes that join
the group are then populated with data from the converted
environment.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">// Create the first node using an existing environment
DbEnableReplication converter =
new DbEnableReplication(envDirMars, // env home dir
"UniversalRepGroup", // group name
"nodeMars", // node name
"mars:5001"); // node host,port
converter.convert();
ReplicatedEnvironment nodeMars =
new ReplicatedEnvironment(envDirMars, ...);
// Bring up additional nodes, which will be initialized from
// nodeMars.
ReplicationConfig repConfig = new ReplicationConfig();
try {
repConfig.setGroupName("UniversalRepGroup");
repConfig.setNodeName("nodeVenus");
repConfig.setNodeHostPort("venus:5008");
repConfig.setHelperHosts("mars:5001");
nodeVenus = new ReplicatedEnvironment(envDirVenus,
repConfig,
envConfig);
} catch (InsufficientLogException insufficientLogEx) {
// log files will be copied from another node in the group
NetworkRestore restore = new NetworkRestore();
restore.execute(insufficientLogEx, new NetworkRestoreConfig());
// try opening the node now
nodeVenus = new ReplicatedEnvironment(envDirVenus,
repConfig,
envConfig);
} </pre>
